"Hit Mama’s in Midtown at any hour (it’s 24/7) for casual Tex-Mex that’s a Mt. Everest-size step above your usual steak quesadilla order from that late-night fast food chain with the annoying sauce packets. They’ve got a big menu from fried chicken tacos and fajitas to solidly-stuffed burritos—and a quesadilla with steak that tastes like it actually sizzled on a grilled just before it landed in your tortilla. If breakfast at 4am is more your style, get one of their breakfast tacos (the chorizo egg hits the spot) or a huevos rancheros platter." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
