The Best New Mexican Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"We first experienced Kuxé in the spring, during the height of catch-up and resocialization season. And we discovered that it’s a great place to meet up with a friend, spend some time in an outdoor hut, and share some guacamole and a few margaritas. The Greenwich Village spot also highlights who on staff came up with the recipe for each dish, along with a short blurb about their inspiration. While scanning the menu, we learned that the large chicken milanesa cemita with stringy quesillo cheese was head chef Juan Velazco’s favorite birthday meal growing up. In addition to this fact already inspiring our own celebratory plans, we’re glad to see a restaurant so transparently give credit on a dish-by-dish basis. Plus, some of the descriptions might even provide you with some conversation material that’s not just rehashing what you think of Nicole Kidman’s latest “breathtaking” performance." - Hannah Albertine, Max Bonem, Nikko Duren, Carlo Mantuano
