The 22 Best Mexican Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"A tidy scoop of refried beans topped with queso fresco. A jiggly sunny-side-up egg submerged in chunky salsa roja. The food at this Midtown East daytime cafe is hearty, straightforward, and greater than the sum of its parts. Stop by for breakfast or lunch, claim one of the little booths built into the window-lined walls, and enjoy a plate of huevos rancheros so simple it looks like a Rothko painting. Pretty much everything at the counter-service spot—from the crumbly conchas to the thin, stretchy corn tortillas—is made in-house, and you can tell." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
