Casa Enrique has held a Michelin star since 2014 and is widely regarded as the finest Mexican restaurant in New York. The cooking is rooted in the Chiapas region — mole negro, memelas with black beans, slow-cooked meats, fresh-ground corn tortillas — prepared with an attention to regional authenticity unusual in the city. The Long Island City location, away from Manhattan tourist routes, keeps the atmosphere genuinely local.
