"This masa-fueled restaurant in Greenpoint, from the team behind Oxomoco, feels like a neighborhood hangout for retired art directors and people who were probably paid to model Calvin Klein denim in the ’90s. Whether we stop by during the day for masa pancakes or at night for potato flautas and mezcal, we like to join the stylish scene on the patio out front. People watching aside, we can always count on Xilonen to treat corn with the respect it deserves. They offer several varietals of the rainbow-colored superfood in the form of crispy tostadas, crunchy tacos, and giant quesadillas. But what really sets Xilonen apart from most of the other new Mexican spots in NYC is that vegetables are the star of every bite. From tender, sweet glazed carrots to creamy guacamole with crunchy winter greens, the vegetables at this Mexican spot will make you want to hug the nearest farmer." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Carlo Mantuano
