El Cantinero


Quesadillas and margaritas
86 University Place
(between 11th and 12th streets)
New York, NY 10003
+1 212 255 9378
This lively and friendly Tex-Mex restaurant is decorated with lots of sombreros and travel posters. Largely a neighborhood spot, it attracts people with its wickedly strong margaritas and low-cost dinners. Come with a friend and order some guacamole and chips and salsa to start, then share an order of chicken or shrimp fajitas and watch it arrive at your table sizzling hot. There is also a shabby-looking upstairs bar area where happy hour specials can be ordered.
