Whenever I'm in Tehuitzingo I'm the only one there with maybe one regular. Really, I'm all for those places getting more business so they stay open. I'll beware of the khakis! Time Out and every other paper in the city clogged up another of my favorite restaurants in the HK hood, Gazala Place. Freakin' excellent Israeli food!! Also, TO outed my fav Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown, Doyers. I forgot to mention one more excellent Mex restaurant. El Maguey y La Tuna, a couple doors east of the Parkside Lounge. If you haven't tried it yet go there the next time you're in the LES. Muy bien! I’ve never had that experience, thankfully. Whenever I’m in Tehuitzingo I’m the only one there with maybe one regular.

Of course i remember you, my fellow pink-haired girl! Yes, Tehuitzingo is great, but TimeOut New York wrote about it twice in September. The last time i was there in October, a couple on what was clearly on one of their first dates walked in totally satisfied with themselves for finding one of those "fabulous hidden hole-in-the-wall restaurants in New York City's historical Hell's Kitchen neighborhood". The man proudly (and obnoxiously, and LOUDLY) proclaimed "YEAH, I know. It's craaazy, isn' it? It's in the back of a deli!!!" while his new lady friend looked at him with admiration, clearly very impressed with her new culture-saavy, alpha-male boyfriend. Just when i thought it couldn't get any worse, two salesmen-type guys walked in with swishy windbreakers and khakis, and asked (EVER-SO-LOUDLY) if there were any "hala-pee-noh" chips. The regulars looked up from their usually undisturbed taco meals and returned to their chorizo in a collective sigh of yuppie hatred. Hey Jenn, thanks!!!!

NO ONE knows about that place. Too bad we didn't meet you before you moved from HK. I LOVE Mexican food. Did you ever try Tulcingo Del Valle one block down from Tehuitzingo? Yum yum!! Nice to know there is hope for Mexican food lovers all over the city! (In case you have no idea who I am, which is very possible... I met you at the AW show on Wed/21st @ the Parkside, Rob is my man) You actually mention Tehuitzingo!! NO ONE knows about that place. Too bad we didn’t meet you before you moved from HK.
