In a city where you can choose from a dozen different cuisines within a few blocks, we still find ourselves slavishly seeking out Mexican. Maybe it's the cascades of Chihuahua cheese, or that we enjoy the lack of pretense involved in a tortilla, which calls for zero sideways glances when eaten with your hands, or that guacamole is actually good for you. You know, if you don't count the fried chips you use to shovel it in.
The point is, justifications for eating Mexican are easily found, which is why we have happily taken on every taco, tamale, and enchilada we've stumbled upon. The result? We can tell you that these are the 10 Best Mexican Restaurants in NYC.
