50 Carmine St New York City NY 10014(212) 929-5050Cabrito is in fact an eponymous dish served in Latin America and spread to the American Southwest; this is made from the meat of a kid, which is actually a young goat. So Cabrito is more than just a name of a casual cantina in Manhattan, it is also one of their more popularly served meals. Rubbed with sour orange, garlic, and chile, then slow roast in banana leaf.

9 East 18th Street, Union Square between 5th Avenue & Broadway New York City NY 10003+1 212 533 3350Rosa Mexicano is in actual fact a chain, with each having its own secret gifts.

But patrons don't come for the dizzying décor, they come for the rich chunky guacamole – prepared tableside in a tra ... read more > -

This is a dedicated Mexican tavern decorated in silver lanterns and hand painted tile. Co-owner chef Julian Medina goes to town on the guacamoles which are mashed to order at the bar, as for the rest, he skips and hops all over Mexico. Oaxac ... read more > -

179 Avenue B 11th & 12th Streets New York City NY 10009+1 212 529 6490The mahi mahi tacos don't disappoint and in a nice celebrity story, a Mercadito aspiring actress/waitress saw Quentin Tarantino out for a walk, ran up to him, gave him a card and offered a round of drinks on her if he returned. He did, the next day, bringing along Benicio Del Toro – now that's a waitress who thinks on her feet! Patricio Sandoval is the Mexico City born chef-owner and Mercadito is ... read more > -
