mexican food in new york

Ask MetaFilter: Any good Mexican restaurants in NYC? + a few more answers on Gothamist.

Can't say I'm an expert on Mexican food as I prefer Tex-Mex and hate beans but I've had fantastic meals at El Maguey Y La Tuna on East Houston and Pequeña in Fort Greene. I keep planning to hit up Cafe Juanita on Rivington, which comes very highly recommended by friends I trust. Where do you go for good Mexican food? Let me know where I can find the tasty shrimp tacos I crave in the comments!

sf-style tacos

How to eat San Francisco style tacos. "Step 1. Boggle at the sheer size of the taco. Two San Francisco tacos at a mexican fast food place = at LEAST four tacos at a Los Angeles mexican fast food place." I love the closeup photos of salsa and shrimp, they're making me so hungry right now.

burrito soulmate

Find your Burrito Soulmate. Good Mexican (not to mention Tex-Mex) food in New York is nigh impossible to find* so many of us happily make do at Chipotle, and that was before we knew Chipotle might bring us love: "There are 40,960 ways to get your meal at Chipotle. The person who gets the exact same meal as you is your Burrito Soulmate." [via monoki.com]

Burritoeater

SF Reason 1,543 I love the internet: Burrito Eater has saved us the trouble of tracking down the best burritos in the city and the accompanying indigestion that comes with visiting  over 150 San Francisco burrito shops and trucks. Each taqueria visited by Burrito Eater receives an "OMR," Overall Mustache Rating, and burritos are rated on 12 key elements, including "burstage abatement." See the list of top taquerias.

Ferry Terminal Building, San Francisco

The Ferry Terminal is always packed on Saturdays for the Farmer's Market, but Sunday is a different story. A considerably thinner crowd means more reasonable waits (if any) at the Ferry Terminal's restaurants.

A very bad idea

I could be wrong, but Salon Mexico chef Alan Miguel Kaplan's $65 "El Burrito Sashimi" sounds like a very, very bad idea.
