Description:
DOWNTOWN. If authentic Mexican is what you're after, then you need to take a trip to the Cadillac Bar. This popular restaurant features traditional decor and its ambiance is full-fledged FIESTA! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere (complete with live music) is energetic. Locals favor the Cadillac for its renowned margaritas. Classics like Cabrito al Pastor (roasted young goat) and Camarones Enbrochette (stuffed shrimp) are among the many tasty menu items. To complete your bona fide Mexican meal, the Tres Leches dessert (pound cake soaked in three types of milk and whipped cream, then topped with cinnamon and vanilla) is an absolute must. |

UPTOWN. The hot, delicious fare found at so many corner taco stands in Mexico goes upscale at this much-loved local chain. The McKinney Avenue offshoot has added appeal thanks to a West Village location among trendy shops and restaurants. Grab a coveted sidewalk seat and tuck into citrus-tinged fish tacos or soft tacos with pork, chicken, or beef. Mexican standards – enchiladas, fajitas, and the like – can also be had. Fresh salsas and ingredients fill the menu, a welcome change from the grease and cheese you'll find at some lesser venues. |
