I’ll take up for Mexican food. If you’re judging by Toronto and NY I bet you’ve had some pretty scarring Mexican experiences. Give it another shot elsewhere, particularly the awesome seafood, and you might find yourself surprised.

Cupcake Cafe on 9th between 40th and 41st is good.

Oh yea, I love mexican food but it’s more like Tex-Mex of what I’m usually eating though. Not real, real authentic Mexican cuisine.

I was gonna say somebody feed her a Choco Taco since she doesn’t like sweets either.

Oh, I also like Chef Yu too. Little too fancy with their decor and everything to be called real chinese food but it’s good stuff. Good drink specials too.

Joe the Art of Coffee is alright. Too pricey for their size though. Not like it’s WOW. Mud Truck near Astor Place is better.
Dunkin’ Donuts only for convenience but I believe Tim Horton’s has better coffee.
I’m into regular coffee, not any of that fancy nonsense. But if you want a little more dark kick and hate starbucks, I would suggest Peet’s Coffee at ING cafes.

Is Macaron Cafe still around (7th and 36th)? They always had good coffee. They always had good everything, actually…

BTW, since you mentioned that you frequent Gingers too much…Chef Yu on 8th and 36th is owned by the same people and the food is better. Not stellar Chinese, but better than Gingers IMO.

Man, you guys. You’ve attacked everyone for their dislikes -Indian, Thai, Chinese…

But none will stick up for the food of my culture!! Fine, be that way….

Juan Valdez actually makes decent iced coffee. I’m pretty sure that they use the cold brew method.
