"Casa Enrique was New York’s first Mexican restaurant to earn a Michelin star in 2015, and despite losing the designation in 2023, the Long Island City destination remains one of the city’s most affordable options of its caliber. The menu includes cochinito Chiapaneco (pork ribs marinated in a bright red guajillo chile sauce), red pozole soup, and other dishes from chef Cosme Aguilar’s hometown of Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state." - Nadia Chaudhury
