"What It Is: A flashy Mexican restaurant in a basement near Union Square Perfect For: Group Dinners Sometimes, we go into dark basements with neon signs to eat tacos. Like the other day when we tried out Taco Electrico in Union Square. This place is from the people behind , and it’s similar in concept to Tijuana Picnic - which is to say, it’s mostly about the atmosphere. The empanadas tasted a little like something you’d make in a microwave, but they weren’t bad, and they made us a little nostalgic for the days of after-school snacks. Our michelada, on the other hand, was great. And nothing cost more than $15. The Verdict: If you get dragged here for a big group dinner, you’ll be OK. Have a few tacos and a margarita." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
