Best

This small hole in the wall restaurant serves up by far the best Chimichanga that I have had for almost 20 years (and I have looked for a good Chimichanga all over the East Coast)...

Worst

I was really excited to try one of the overhyped margarita's, but was extremely disappointed in the drink when it arrived. It was barely cold, too sweet and tasted like it didn't...

good neighborhood Mexican 10/9/2003

I've been going to Mi Nidito for years, since it's in my 'work' neighborhood. They have great lunch deals...and the servers have always been friendly and efficient. I love the homemade salsa. There's a nice variety of vegetarian entrees as well, (I love the vegetable chimichanga). It's not gourmet, it's good, so I give them a solid 7. The atmosphere is okay...not romantic or anything...but fun for groups. The portions are generous and I always leave with a smile on my face. Pros: veggie variety, service, portions Cons: crowded on Fridays more

I approve! 8/8/2003

Mexican is my very favorite cuisine, and I've been on a mission to find an authentic restaurant here in NYC. I really liked the chips and salsa and Mi Nidito, and my entree (Cancun Chicken) was a delight as well! The margaritas also have a very wonderful consistency and texture and taste. Overall, a great experience, although it was a bit pricey. I read all the reviews about fresh ingredients and I must say - it is noteworthy indeed! My only gripe was that I left feeling fuller than EVER (and I only ate half my entree), so beware! Pros: authenticity, service, taste! Cons: pricey more

not so great 3/17/2003

Went here before a show in the area. Maybe I was expecting more because of the prices or because it seemed to stray from Tex-Mex style. I had the mole and it was bland. The chips and salsa were good though. Pros: location, service Cons: value, quality more

Hype is right-- 2/27/2003

I've eaten here many times, and we've never been disappointed. The veggie options are very good, the margaritas are flavorful and abundant, and the service is great. A very good value, and it's easy to get there! Good gathering place for post-game or birthdays. more

BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!!! 2/26/2003

I am not an employee or owner of this classic Mexican place, I am only a loyal fan of the best authentic Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood. It is a small place that serves great magaritas and I have never had a bad meal in here, so I don't know what they mean by mediocre, unless they consider Taco Bell authentic! (the review before mine) This is a great place and anybody who calls it anything less needs to go somewhere that is more flash and doesn't let their food and drinks do the talking! Mi Nidito can rest on it's laurels...why aren't they in the top ten in NYC?????? Pros: food, service, margaritas 25 flavors Cons: small, crowded more

Best Mexican food in midtown! 7/21/2002

The ambience, margaritas, and food are amazing here. The portions are enormous (food and drink)! It's a great place to bring a date or a few friends. Our waitress brought us the wrong order, but quickly corrected the error, and the food was worth a few extra minutes. Pros: great food, ambience Cons: expensive, small more

Holy mole! 7/15/2002

Putting aside the relatively small space, the food is amazingly good and the margaritas blow you away. After trying a bunch of Mexican places, I'd definitely recommend this place. Pros: great food, great margaritas Cons: small space, can get loud more

Quality Mexican 6/26/2002

I couldn't be happier this neighborhood Mexican is in my neighborhood. You may pay a bit more than other places around but the quality is so far and away superior, it would be worth much more. The place isn't much to look at, but homey and the staff is attentive. The best part-- if you want it spicey, they will actually make it spicey. Take out or eat in, you will not find fresher ingredients at any other Mexican in town! more
