If you are looking for authentic Mexican flavors La Taqueria y Fonda is the right place. Very tiny, cheap, not trendy, clean and familiar, it is run by a very nice and friendly Mexican man, who gave importance to the quality of the food more than to the fashion of the place. And the result is great! When you seat you are served some tacos with spicy sauces and you can start ordering the drinks: they have amazing margaritas and Mexican beers. If you don’t want to drink alcohol I recommend their Orchata: it matches very well with the spicy plates. While you wait for the food you can put some music in their kind old fashion juke-box which plays only Mexican music…if you close your eyes the music and the smell will make you believe you are not in New York but in Mexico! The quesadillas are their best plate. The giant burrito is really big and very good. Two people can eat with only one of that! The plates with shrimps are also very good: don’t miss the “Camarones a la Diabla” if you like spicy food.
