Where is Mi Nidito on the list. Chipotle and Qdoba shouldn’t even be contenders!

If Chipotle and Qdoba are contenders, you might as well include the Taco Bell Express just up the block from Pampano…

I think the fact that Chipotle and Qdoba need to be mentioned on this poll says a lot about the sorry state of Mexican food affairs of not only in Midtown, but in New York in general.

I love tacos more than Midtown Lunch. Anybody wanna start a Midtown Taco Club (not to be confused with Taco Bell’s Club Taco)?

i’m guessin’ people are voting based on what they’ve tried…chipotle and qdoba are mainstream and widely known….pampano taqueria and el rey del sabor are definitely better, but not national chains. that’s the beauty of midtown lunch…people start to learn about the quality places that fly under the radar.

The only barrier to inclusion (besides location and price) is whether or not something will get votes. If I hadn’t included them, people would have said “What about Chipotle?” Nobody said “Where’s McDonald’s???” in the best burger poll… but if I hadn’t included Chipotle, people would have complained. In the end the voters will decide…

I had to cheat, but Chipotle is no longer first.
