L Encanto D Lola

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire city of New York.
If you visiting for the first time I would highly suggest starting with the flaming margarita. A fresh citrus based margaritas maid the classic way with a half empty lime lit on fire. For an appetizer have the chorizo. The chips and salsa come automatically and are fresh to serve.
I typically go with the sizzling chicken fajitas or the beef enchiladas depending on how I’m feeling but are quite exceptional and remind me of my days in Los Angeles as a child where Mexican food is pretty much standard fare.
The restaurant was originally named «Lolita’s» up until 2014 and was family owned and run by the son of Lolita whom the establishment is named after. I believe the restaurant was taken over by new management and is still run and operated like nothing ever changed. The atmosphere is fun and always friendly and on some nights there is a guitarist singing popular Spanish ballads. When the energy of the guest raises up to become festive, the guitar player with offer complimentary shots of tequila to any brave soul! I love this place and probably will also. Enjoy.

Free chips and salsa (no refills)
A reliable Mexican restaurant in East Harlem. I always get their molé wet burrito, which is an awesome option that is unique!
$ 10 margaritas — decent

This place is authentic Mexican. Absolutely love it. Great atmosphere, reasonable pricing, consistent, and very friendly staff.
