The Best East Village Mexican Restaurants | Eater NY

"Named after the town in Puebla, this miniature maze founded in 2000 is both a grocery store and a cafe, via proprietors Maria, Pompeyo, and Ruben Martinez, with a taco stand in front and tables in the rear. Check the chalkboard for daily specials, which recently included a nice tuck-in of albondigas (meatballs), each with a boiled quail egg at its center, and a delicious potato-and-chorizo taco made with a pair of blue corn tortillas. It’s a good place to pick up a kilo of tortillas, bottled salsas, or a six-pack of Mexican beer." - Robert Sietsema
