Overall: A cozy neighborhood shop for authentic Mexican eats and scrumptious margaritas.

For the last five years, family-owned Citrico has been serving authentic home-style Mexican Cuisine, in Prospect Heights.

Casa Neta: A New Mezcaleria and Tequileria in NYC (Review)

by Desha Winborne August 30, 2016

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 40 East 20th Street NY, NY

Cuisine: Mexican

Best Dish: The Queso Fundido was as amazing as any cheese lover could imagine. Thick gooey cheese and spicy chorizo in a sizzling platter how could you go wrong? If you prefer sweets to cheese, the churro bowl is the right choice. The warm churro and cold ice cream are a delicious combination.

Overall: A chic sexy space with sumptuous Mexican fare and an impressive assortment of Mezcal and Tequilas. The right space for date night or mingling with other sexy singles.

Amigos Restaurant & Bar (Review)

by Desha Winborne September 2, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 2888 Broadway, btw 112^th and 113^th New York, NY 10025

Cuisine: Mexican

Best Dish: Surprisingly the best dish was the Que Pasta. The rich sauce and spice was an unexpected treat.

Overall: Casual easy atmosphere and great food. This is a good choice for a low key dinner with friends or a casual night out.

We ventured out to Morningside Heights in search of something tasty and found it at Amigos, a quaint Mexican restaurant and bar. The decor is vibrant with red and white checkered tablecloths and colorful artwork displayed on the walls. The venue is surprisingly large with seating outside, near the bar, and at the rear. Bar seating is cozy and inviting; great for mingling with other patrons. For a more intimate meal, seating at the rear provides a larger area with the distance between parties and communal tables for larger groups. The menu is playful and fun with a mixture of traditional Mexican dishes and barbecue favorites.

ANTOJERIA LA POPULAR1

Location: 50 SPRING STREET NOLITA | NEW YORK CITY (BETWEEN MULBERRY & LAFAYETTE STREETS)

Cuisine: Mexican Tapas (Small plates)

Items: 7 plates, 4 glasses of Sangria

Cost: with 20% tip

Best Dish: For a wow factor try the toasted crickets. The surprising taste and texture are a great talking point and make for a fab dining experience. If you’re not quite so adventurous give the Zacatecas a try, you simply can not go wrong with savory sirloin and gooey melty cheese.
