5 Best Latin Restaurants in New York
New York is full of amazing restaurants and has a thriving Latino culture. As you can imagine it was no easy task compiling a list of must-eat Latin restaurants. In order to narrow it down, some guidelines were established. Each restaurant was nominated by a panel of locals. Restaurants were then evaluated based on authenticity, quality of food, and accessibility to anyone regardless of budget. After much labor, it is a pleasure to present this fantastic list. A beber y a tragar, que el mundo se va a acabar!
Flor De Mayo
484 Amsterdam Avenue (Upper West Side)
(212) 787-3388
This somewhat divey favorite is one of the few remaining Chino-Latino restaurants in New York. The interesting brand of cuisine was birthed when Chinese that immigrated to countries like Peru and Cuba fled conditions in South America and came to New York. History aside, the restaurant’s pollo à la brasa, a Peruvian rotisserie chicken, could go head to head with any Latino offering in the city. The savory, flavor-packed bird won’t set you back too far either. Be sure to try a glass of the red sangria.
El Parador Café
325 East 34th St # 1 (Midtown East)
(212) 679-6812
Originally opened in 1959, this sleeper of a Mexican restaurant serves some of the best contemporary Mexican to be found in New York. Diners can enjoy a variety of exceptional dishes including a braised shredded flank steak, mole pablano, paella or for the less adventurous quesadillas and enchiladas while sipping on El Parador’s strong but tasty margaritas.
Victor’s Cafe
236 West 52nd St # 1 (Midtown)
(212) 586-7714
Another oldie but goodie, Victor’s Cafe has been serving Cuban food to New Yorkers since 1963. This theatre district favorite maintains an upbeat environment with live salsa music without falling into the trap of most of the area’s restaurants which sacrifice food quality for atmosphere. Delicious offerings include lechon asado, ropa vieja, roast suckling pig in sour orange, olive oil, garlic and herbs, and florida red snapper. If you’re drinking, you can’t go wrong with their mojito.
I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
