15 Top Mexican Restaurants in the East Village

"This gleaming taqueria that seems like it might have come from California is really from Florida, and originally went by the name of El Primo Red Tacos, tendering only birria in many permutations. That tanked, and the lively interior has been repurposed to sell a still-limited menu of taco fillings that include al pastor, chicharron, carnitas, and grilled steak. Get the gringa — a pair of flour tortillas stuffed with al pastors, slathered with salsa Porky, and glued together with cheese." - Robert Sietsema
