Animo!

"This light-filled Mexican breakfast spot spotlights the concha, as well as breakfast tacos with scrambled eggs with barbacoa and smashed avocado, chilaquiles, and more. Its Midtown location is fitting for a morning meeting." - Melissa McCart

"Ánimo is an adorable Mexican cafe in Midtown East where you can start your morning with a cafe de olla and some huevos rancheros with perfectly wobbly eggs and tangy salsa. Order at the counter, and then find a pistachio-colored nook to sit in, and get one more concha than you actually need. All of the food—like a simple quesadilla and enchiladas with squiggles of crema—tastes fresh and straightforward, and is capable of changing the course of a bad day." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman

"Ánimo is a bright, adorable Mexican café doing breakfast and lunch in Midtown East. The concept is a no-brainer, and the execution is spot-on. For an overachieving daytime meal, order some huevos rancheros at the counter, find a pistachio-colored nook to sit in, then enjoy some perfectly wobbly eggs topped with tangy, ultra-thick salsas. All of the food—like a simple quesadilla and enchiladas with squiggles of crema—is fresh, straightforward, and greater than the sum of its housemade parts. Just keep in mind, the place closes at 4pm daily. If you need some Ánimo in the off-hours, grab a concha or two to take home. photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Bryan Kim

"Midtown: Midtown office workers have a new spot for meetings at Ánimo!, a Mexican breakfast spot. There are breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, and pan dulce like homemade concha." - Emma Orlow
