"The only Michelin Bib Gourmand taqueria in the East Village, Lola 55 stands out from the rest with its elevated street tacos. Founded by Tijuana-born Frank Vizcarra, who has visited more than 150 taquerias stateside and in Mexico, the restaurant’s top sellers include the achiote-rubbed pork belly taco with grilled pineapple, a vegan mushroom taco with beet soyrizo, and its citrus-forward cocktails. The steak taco, a regulars’ favorite, is served with a tender flank steak that gets marinated in a blend of dried chiles and spices for 24 hours. The taqueria has another outpost in Carlsbad, at the Rady Shell, and a spinoff dubbed L55 Tacos at Westfield UTC." - Roxana Becerril
