It was my first time in New York and as a El Paso native I was highly suspect that there was any good Mexican food in this city. Locals recommended El Maguey y La Tuna. It has a cozy atmosphere and satisfying food that took me back home. Actually, it may have even been better than home but Shhh! My friend and I started off with ensalda de nopales. The cilantro dressing was very refreshing. I loved the Enchiladas al Maguey Y La Tuna. My friend enjoyed the Jalepeno Burrito. Although they did not serve margaritas, they made up for it with great sangrias. In addition to the great food, friendly service made me realize why this is such a local favorite.
P.S. Thanks Jimmy from the subway for the recommendation.
Pros: Inviting atmosphere, Friendly wait staff, Amazing enchiladas
Cons: Long walk-Worth it!
