New York City’s Best Mexican RestaurantsMi CocinaNo kitsch in this kitchen: Mexican home cooking gets the respect it deserves.
The SceneMi Cocina is modeled after the great matriarchal Mexican home kitchens of yore--though it's unlikely any home kitchen ever got this crowded. Fortunately, the efficient and cheerful servers handle throngs of hungry customers with ease, creating a mood that's as sunny as the warm, yellow decor. The FoodThe influence of elderly female relatives also looms over the menu, as in a snail recipe that was inspired by a "Grand Aunt" and a judiciously-spiced mole poblano handed down from a grandmother. Even a nun named Brigida from "the convent of Coyoacan" gets into the act--the guacamole bears her blessing. Everything about the food is fresh and lively. The guacamole tastes as green as it looks, and the light cream sauce on the grilled chicken is delicate without seeming dull. 57 Jane St |
