“I adore Mexican food,” enthuses Natalie Massanet and there’s nowhere else she likes to sample a dish or two than at Mexicana Mama, a restaurant in New York’s West Village. But you’ll have to expect long queues to get a seat here since this small restaurant has only a handful of seats for guests. However, the wait is well worth it as there’s nowhere better in New York to savour a dish of traditional Mexican cuisine. Each day up to twelve different salsas are prepared on the premises which are the perfect accompaniment for freshly-baked tortilla chips, chicken tacos or beef burritos. An absolute must though is the sweet flan for desert!
