replying to u/AgentSterling_Archer: California (and midwest, but mainly CA) transplants trying to whitesplain Mexican food is honestly pretty funny, both on here and irl. The Mexican population in NYC is primarily from Puebla (as in it's even a meme in the form of Puebla York) and they do not focus so heavily on tacos and burritos but rather guisados (entrees) generally. So when I see yet another "omg guyz mexican food so ass in nyc" post by which they mean the tacos and burritos aren't exactly all they've had in their local strip mall and just screams that the translucent person on the other side has probably not even had a chile relleno before. Also my other unpopular opinion is that Cocina Consuelo is wildly overhyped after trying it twice. Service is nice but I was still starving after spending 180+tip on food and drinks for two people - the drinks tasted like watered-down juice with not even a hint of alcohol bite and the food itself was done well technically but I had tastier birria at Birrialandia, tastier ceviche at Mariscos Los Submarinos, and tastier mole at Calavera, in bigger portions for far cheaper.
“Mesa Coyoacan, Chavelas, Sobre Masa, Los Tacos no 1, (and also Taqueria Downtown in Jersey City) are just a few my personal favs and they haven’t been around that long in the grand scheme of the NYC food scene.”
