Los Dos Molinos in Gramercy
My friend Farah recently introduced me to Los Dos Molinos in Gramercy. Besides guac, I like to judge these Spanish/Mexican restaurants by their chicken. I feel like too often, restaurants try to mask bland chicken under mountains of sauce but it just doesn’t have that kick. This place has it.
Mexican Pizza - small
But I’m getting ahead of myself. As an appetizer, we had their small Mexican pizza, which easily satisfied three hungry girls in this case. I loved my entree — the “Los Dos” Flautas dinner with chicken.
Mission Cafe in the East Village
After the Carolina Herrera show, Hamid and I (and later Mohib!) decided to go for brunch in the East Village. We were walking up 2nd Ave., and Hamid noticed the low-key Mission Cafe. He says the hole-in-the wall places have less space but more love. Word.
Their menu is a mix of Mexican and American food (for some reason they say it’s Middle Eastern on Yelp.com, but I think that’s because it seemed like everyone working there was…c’mon people! It’s definitely not Middle Eastern food!), with plenty of healthy options. Hamid got the egg croissant and I got the huevos rancheros. OK, but I am a little confused because I could have sworn I had taken pictures of our food. Instead, we took these before and after videos of our meal. Enjoy.
