Restaurant Review: La Lotteria

Often times when I visit a Mexican restaurants that isn’t low-end or extremely high-end, I feel ripped off. Tacos are either overpriced, undersized, or both. It’s just a taco, one of the simplest, cheapest to make foods on the planet. When you start charging over three dollars for a taco or if you start shrinking them to teeny tiny serving sizes, you are generally fucking up tacos. The tacos at La Lotteria, though overpriced by this measure, are still better than most (maybe all) other middle range Mexican restaurants I’ve had in Manhattan.

Restaurant Review: La Palapa

Yelp site (official site was down when i checked): http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-palapa-new-york

I’ve been here a few times. It’s generally all right.

We had the guacamole and chips, tacos, a salad, enchiladas, the mole duck, and the bistec.

Everything was fine. I don’t recommend the duck. The frozen margarita machine was broken when we visited most recently. Most unfortunate.

Service was nice. We have a strict vegan and they did their best to accommodate.

Environment was all right.

Score: 5/10 Just your average Mexican place. Best part about this place is its location in St. Mark’s.
