We are all coming from different directions-so it doesn't matter really.

There's a place called Cancun on 50th adn 8th Ave (I think). Great food and even better margaritas. Very reasonable.


ETA: It's on 8th between 55th & 56th

Here's the link for the menu:

All time favorite, CHEAPer place is Canyon Road on the Upper East side.

I also love Dos Caminos (both locations) but it's a little more expensive.

Oh - and I just remembered Baby Bo's on the east side - I think 1st and 34th maybe. Cheap and yummy!!

Zarelas
Mama Mexico
Rosa Mexicano
Arriba Arriba

Zarelas is my all time favorite. One frozen margie and it will know you off your seat.

The food is fabulous adn the place is festive. It is moderately priced.

Mama Mexico is a little bit cheaper and they sometimes have a strolling mariachi band..that's cool..and they are good! I don't like the margies as much there though.

Rosa Mexicano-not cheap but Pomegranate margies are yummy

arriba arriba is probably the least expensive choice. Still very good.

That's a bit pricey though.

I'd suggest
Mamma Mexico
Marianne's
Blue Moon

Of those, if it's a big group, I'd go with Mama Mexico, but I don't remember prices.

Mi Nidito- the best mexican I have had in NYC. Not cheap, but not expensive either.

Mary Ann's - there are a couple of locations.

Harry's Burrito's- West Villiage

Cowgirl Hall of fame- more tex-mex, but fun and great margaritas.

It can get pricey - I've only been there on client lunch/dinners.

Harry's Burrito's- West Villiage



I think they lost their lqiuor license.
I believe that's where I was in April when we had to get beer from a deli across the street.

Tortilla Flats - it is really cheap and very fun. They have outdoor seating. I think it is on 12th and Washington.
