In an invigorating neighborhood like the Lower East Side, where traditional and modern cultures become one, the emergence of El Maguey Y la Tuna is well received. The quality of authentic cuisines from Puebla has not been lost. The warmth of the tortillas in your hand as you dip into the rich mole come close to the meals served at small pueblos. The selection is diverse so that clients have a range of traditional Mexican food and the modern adaptation of it. Even with the move from Brooklyn, the Chili Rellenos and Enchiladas are still to die for. The ambiance is one that is left to the client, which is perfect for big groups. The excitement that comes from sizzling platters can be soothed by the expanded Mexican beer selection. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to go eat in Puebla but enjoys living in the LES.
Pros: Comfort food , Delicious Dark mole , Friendly Staff
Cons: no margaritas
