What is your favorite Mexican restaurant in Manhattan that has some ambiance?

Not a place that's mainly takeout or a total hole in the wall

Any Manhattan location is fine, not looking for anything in the outer boroughs this time.

I've been to a few good Mexican/taco places on the LES (Casa Mezcal and Barrio Chino) and to Dos Caminos in the Meatpacking District. All of those were pretty good. I've also been to Tacombi which was ok but I didn't love it.

A few years ago tacos were $1 each, now they are $6. The workers are all illegal in there too.

Take a few cooking classes and learn how to make your own food instead of being ripped off.

Went to another Mexican restaurant yesterday. Not my choice. They all taste the same to me, way overpriced and overhyped.

Tried everything from mom and pop dumps to high end joints. All the same. High end manhattan places at least make it look and taste richer than they ever were designed to be.

Exactly. We make killer burritos and tacos at home.

Mexicans live in the outer boroughs and that's where the best Mexican food are.

my favorites in Manhattan are:

El Centro : 824 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019
Toro Loco - in the financial district
Mole on Jane St

In Brooklyn I love Chavelas in crown heights and Las Santas in fulton street

Bronx - Cocina Chente in riverdale

I want to try Casa Enrique on LIC which is a Michellin star for a reason. And Roodtop Cantina in Hells kitchen
