Quesadillas Doña Maty

The Best Restaurants In East Harlem - New York - The Infatuation

"Doña Maty is our favorite late-night option in the neighborhood. Open 24 hours, this Mexican spot is known for their quesadillas: six-inch, handmade tortillas with lightly charred edges, folded over lettuce, crema, cotija, and a fistful of fillings like tinga de pollo or bistec con papas. At $9, one is a satisfying snack, but adding a $5 salsa picada will make it a meal. The nautical-themed room has potted ferns and decorative hulls on the wall, and on weeknights, it’s a peaceful place to eat tacos and stare at the TV after a late shift. But on weekends, all bets are off. At peak post-bar hours, it’s everyone’s first pit stop before the walk home. They also have a second location on East 110th that closes at 10pm." - neha talreja, sonal shah, hannah albertine
