Ok, so we need to get a thread going on good Mexican restaurants here in New York.
And I'm not talking about no chic "nueva Mexicana" Manhattan bistros that charge $12 for guacamole made at your table. The cheaper the better. Give me "hole in the wall" places, taco stands, and roach coaches. In my experience these are usually more authentic. Also, list general areas where one can find good Mexican food.
Here are a few places I've found:
- Sunset Park, Brooklyn
(5th Ave. & 46th St.)
There are 2-4 blocks of very affordable places with Mexican, Ecuadoran, and other central/south american cuisines.
- Jackson Heights, Queens
(74th St.-Bway / Jackson Heights Roosevelt Ave. stops)
There are tons along Roosevelt Ave. east of this train stop.
- Astoria, Queens
(Broadway NW stop, & 31st St.)
Small place on Broadway, just west of 31st St., next to a large second hand store.
- Park Slope, Broklyn
(5th Ave. & about 12th st.)
Place has a restaurant w/ a bar attached to it,
Green, white & red sign. Good salsa, cheap, serves beer.
