The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner

"What It Is: A casual Mexican spot in Williamsburg with a long mezcal menu and some outdoor seating Perfect For: Outdoor/Patio Situation, Quick Eats Taqueria Diana’s newest location on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg serves giant burritos and loaded nachos like their original spot, but unlike the East Village location, we’ve never seen this place crowded. On a recent Friday night, we ordered at the counter downstairs, and had no trouble getting one of the tables on the upstairs outdoor patio. We wouldn’t hang out here and drink expensive mezcal (they have a lot of those), but it’s open till 1am every day, so it’s a good option for a burrito and a beer on your way home. The Verdict: Come here for some quick and filling Mexican food and $3 Tecates." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
