To view the menu click the above link, which will direct you to a comment screen, then click on the link one more time to load the pdf file.Touting an East Los Angeles theme, but reflecting the whole of California, Uncle Moe’s is one of the few authentic feeling taquerias in the NYC area. The menu is complicated, so take a minute to look it over and feel free to ask questions. The Vegetarian comes with guacamole, or you can order one of the other burritos and choose a filling or two. Offering black or pinto beans and a slew of veggie fillings (some of which change seasonally) Uncle Moe’s gives you the variety you need.
Also, one of the only places to offer a salsa bar (an L.A. staple) in the NYC area. Some creative spicing choices that may or may not jibe with conventionalists. The first Uncle Moe’s opened in 1991 in Park Slope, I visited their second (of 2) stores in Manhattan. I’ve been to the Brooklyn store as well ,many, many moons ago…

If you’ve been drunk at a wedding danced with someone all night only to wake up the next morning shocked by what that someone’s like in the morne, then you know what it’s like to eat at San Loco (sort of). Open late, situated near points of inebriation, dark lighting. Better than Chipotle and most of the national chains, San Loco is self-proclaimed Gringo Mex. Not for the discerning Burritophile, but is a good healthy-ish late night option, with minimal regrets in the morning.
Value: Good for NYC
