As a Southern California native I was really taken aback by the LACK OF GOOD Mexican food restaurants in NYC.... until I came upon FLORENCIA 13 by chance one day on my first visit to the city. Let me just say that after a week in NYC I was starting to feel a bit home sick for the Los Angeles area and FLORENCIA 13 was like a little piece of home away from home. The food REALLY IS Southern California style Mexican food and it's to die for. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, the owners are friendly and made us feel right at home. You have to try the margaritas as they are the best I've ever tasted just about anywhere! If you haven't been here yet.... SHAME ON YOU! DROP WHAT YOU'R DOING AND GO NOW! ;-)
