Not literally the same, and I'm not referring to those budget 99 cent slices either. But most pizzerias I go to, whether in Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, or Long Island, taste pretty much the same.
Kind of like a taco. Or a bagel. Or a hot dog. Or an empanada. Or a beef patty. These items won't make a neighborhood have claim to best food.
And Latin food is more diverse than people give it credit for, Mexico itself a lot of diversity. Although it seems like most Mexican restaurants in NYC sell pretty much the same things, with some notable exceptions.
Any amount of Latin food isn't going to make a neighborhood have best food unless the neighborhood also has vast options of Asian or Italian cuisine. Latin food can't do it on it's own. Asian and European can.

And while we're at it, this city needs more seafood options, I'm talking like Baltimore
We're on one of the largest natural harbors, and all we got is Red Lobster and City Island

Well that's a matter of opinion, Mexico City is highly regarded as a food city.

Thats for sure. We need a wharf where seafood options are abundant. Could have been by the Seaport. Closest thing to it would be the seafood boil spots in Flushing.

Rockaway Wharf
If they build it, they will go

I don't go to the 7 line for pizza (who does?) but I'm pretty sure there are some really nice Italian places in Sunnyside. Sunnyside doesn't have the same density of restaurants as some other neighborhoods on the line, but it does seem to be very diverse. There is Turkish, Tibetan, Mexican, various types of South American, Thai, Filipino, Korean, Italian, Japanese, and even some Eastern European. Also a spillover of hipster restaurants from LIC
Also while it is limited to "Asian and Latin" those cuisines themselves are incredibly diverse. Food you get in Mexico is completely different from Dominican Republic, which is completely different from Brazil, which is completely different from Peru, which is completely different from Argentina. I dont think I could ever get bored of eating in Jackson Heights
I also agree that there's not many high-end options. But I'm a college student, so I dont really pay attention to the high-end stuff much, I'm mostly concerned about cheap eateries. Which Queens excels at, most restaurants in Queens offer a tasty lunch that can be paid with a $20 bill
Sunnyside does not have good pizza in my experience.
Look at the cuisines represented in the East Village. Probably every cuisine you mentioned plus many more. And not just the ethnic stuff but regional US styles like barbecue, southern food, New England lobster rolls, etc.
To be fair, we probably shouldn't be comparing residential outer borough neighborhoods with dense Manhattan neighborhoods where many people work and play. But for the purposes of this thread, the East Village wins when it comes to the sheer variety and overall quality level.

Unfortunately Mexico City isn't in NYC. And even if it was it wouldn't take the best food neighborhood in the city. Regions in Italy and Asia on the other hand certainly would. It is not a matter of opinion.
Sadly in NYC most of Mexican food is limited to the Puebla region. Tho some Oaxacans are starting to make way with their restaurants too.
Pizza does in fact taste the same to me everywhere lol, of course not a bad thing. In NYC you can go into any pizzeria and expect your typical NYC slice. Never take that for granted, outside of New York City your average pizzeria does soggy tasteless pizza that is a step above DiGiornos
I definitely would. Maybe it's time to start up shop. Got spring right around the corner.
