Pedro Pascal: 'No Good Mexican Food in NYC'??

Are you sure about that? Respectfully, here's 5 spots we think are worth a try, and maybe come to the defense of the many Mexicans and Mexican-owned establishments that call NYC home. You can get tacos, chalupas, micheladas, and more, and we think they give Los Angeles a run for its money. Have you hit these places? Drop us a line in the comments.

Pedro grew up in TX and Cali and has lived in NYC for over 20 years, so imma give him this one.

[John-ctzs]

Texas, Arizona and California will always have more authentic Mexican food than New York

[kellyweldon]

New Yorkers literally cant handle the idea that something better exists outside of their boroughs.

Any credibility you had was lost when you put AOC on the screen.

[obkenobjunior]

Serving authentic Mexican food in front of Chipotle is wild! 😂

[swimmerrr]

As a Mexican American who grew up in Cali and has been living in NYC for 10+ years, Pedro is right

[RodneyIbarra]

In Cali, you don’t have to search for the best Mexican food. It exists everywhere.

[lomelyo]

AOC is Puerto Rican so why bring her up. 🤦🏾

[slickrick]

As a Texan…I would never visit NYC to eat Mexican food or BBQ.

[cmunoz]

My respects for that lady selling authentic Mexican food infront of a Chipotle 😂😂😂

[Onlymetoday]

I’m Mexican. First generation. Lived in Cali for most of my life and been to Mexico. Abuelas, Tias, and friends cooking. Been in NYC 5 years, and Pedro is correct. Someone was putting BROCCOLI on a SOPE!!! 😂

[PackNshipp]

My dad from NY when he comes to visit here in Cali all he eats is Mexican food he says there’s no real Mexican food on the entire east coast.

[aridivina]

I’m Mexican (from Mexico City), lived in NYC for 10 years (Brooklyn and Queens) and Pedro is speaking the facts. The closest I’d recommend if I felt home sick was the “No 1 Taqueria”. In any case, what sucks the most is paying a fortune for a sad looking and tasting taco. Rather wait, go home or to any state in Mex.. (no offense but respectfully no Texas, no Cali ) and literally go to town! 😌😏 … one more comment.. can we please establish that TexMex is never RealMex. Gracias 😉🇲🇽 Disagree? Lay out the facts in Spanish and we may lend an ear TacoBell kids.

[hol-upLIL-bit]

i lived in ny, i’m mexican, and pedro IS 100% accurate in his assessment. next!

[themchannel]

Using Ocasio as an authenticator for mexican food is ridiculous 😂

[Antoto]

The best Mexican food in nyc is a Mexican friend’s house. Their mom be out doing everyone in the city.

[foxyfarhad]

You know he’s right about Mexican food in New York when they have to choose specific dishes Instead of restaurants 😂

[sourbittersweet]

Mexican here (born and living) those aren't chalupas... They look more like "sopes" and drowning in salsa so im questioning their quality.

[ultimatepro]

Selling in front of a Chipotle is a baller ass move. respect.

[tylertucker]

The moment I saw lemon going on that first taco instead of lime I knew they can’t compete lol
