The Best Places to Eat and Drink in NYC This Summer

"A Yonkers luncheonette-style spot a short walk from the train station that serves hefty pambazos: soft, cheese-sprinkled bread grilled and soaked in fruity, smoky guajillo sauce then filled with tender potatoes, chunks of sausage, lettuce, queso fresco, and crema for a saucy, comforting sandwich." - Alan Sytsma, Beth Sacca

El Poblano Cafe’s food is truly made with love. You can taste the care and flavor in every single bite. Everything is seasoned perfectly and always fresh. I’m honestly addicted to their tacos — they’re that good! I’m finally going to start trying other items on the menu because I already know everything there is going to taste amazing. The quality never disappoints. On top of that, all the employees are very respectful, welcoming, and professional. They make you feel appreciated every time you walk in. Definitely one of my favorite spots! 🔥🌮

So I’ve come here twice. The taste is a hit or miss. The owners are very nice and they maintain the restaurant very clean. But over all I think that they are a hit or miss. You can get your chance to have delicious food or have terrible food. The last time I was here I had tostadas de pollo and another type of meat.

Cafe Poblano is a diamond in the rough. It's a hole in the wall spot that serves tacos, mexican food and a few authentic foods that you can't get anywhere else. The totas and cemitas (mexican sandwiches) are great as well as the tacos. If you are feeling adventurous, try the Pambazo, its street food from Mexico City and it's basically a torta bread loaf, dredged in guajillo sauce and cooked on the grill, filled with potatos and chorizo. It's a meal by itself, but make sure you take it to go because you might need to clean up after and they don't have a bathroom!

These are the best nachos around. They are pricy but definitely worth it. I wish they offered a 1/2 size option for like $8.00
