Real East and South L.A. mexican food has finally made it's way to NYC. It must have been old home night during our visit on a Friday evening in April, but a good majority of the restaurant patrons were visiting from or L.A. transplants. This was a real sign that Florencia 13 was truly an authitic west coast mexican joint. Who else would know better? The food was outstanding in full L.A. effect and the margaritas are huge, served in a pint glasses and were very tasty. Owners Ralph, Rena and thier kids were gracious hosts and make the dining experience complete. Some may complain about the prices, but get real everything in New York is expensive. Have you ever bought an avocado there? I found the prices to be reasonalbe considering the quality and hope that they consider opening a store on the west coast sometime in the future.
Pros: Authentic, Hospitality, Atmosphere
Cons: Size
