NYC's first ever Mexican Restaurant Week highlights diverse cuisine
NEW YORK (PIX11)—The first-ever Mexican Restaurant Week is coming to New York City during Hispanic Heritage Month, the up-and-coming event company Migo Events confirmed to PIX11 News via Instagram.
The newly created event, in collaboration with Joaly Silva, aims to bridge the Mexican food scene across the five boroughs and showcase the different types of Mexican food and hidden gems New Yorkers need to know about.
“We wanted to bridge the gap financially between higher-end restaurants and mom-and-pop shops,” said Paulina Montiel, one of the event creators. “Everything has a set menu for under $45, so everyone can try any type of food they like.”
From Oct. 7-13, New Yorkers can indulge in various Mexican delights, including enchiladas, tacos, sopes, and gorditas, at one of the participating restaurants.
The restaurants participating in the event are:
Brooklyn -
Manhattan -
Queens -
Bronx -
Migo Events will be revealing the full lineup of participating restaurants on Wednesday.
