Mexican Restaurants

The Upper West Side offers a vibrant Mexican food scene, with a variety of restaurants that cater to diverse tastes. El Mitote, located at 208 Columbus Avenue, is a standout, blending classic Mexican street food with contemporary flair and showcasing dishes from Guadalajara. Covacha, recognized in the Michelin Guide, provides a casual dining experience with innovative cocktails. Rancho Tequileria offers authentic Mexican cuisine with a focus on traditional dishes like homemade mole sauce. I feel they make the best margaritas on the UWS. Additionally, The Calaveras is noted for its mole enchiladas and unique underground dining area5. These eateries contribute to the UWS’s reputation as a hub for delicious and authentic Mexican dining experiences.
