Mexican = Mexicana Mama Hudson just at W 10th st. yoooooooo - this is waaaaaaay too good for mexican food in NY. The queso flameado with the chorizo????? telling you - this will shock you. really really good. mad small though, and be prepared to wait a little for a table.
Saigon Grill is great if you can get past the protesters.
REAL TALK
I watched this place grow from a little spot down the street, to a larger joint on my corner, to now expanded twice to hold down nearly the whole block. Cheap and good, this pretty big time food network chef i used to work for said its best Vietnamese in NYC, and its < $20 a person...
i like the mexi spot on the southwest corner of 1st ave & 3rd st + there are some ok viet spots on the same side of 1st the next block north (not fancy & cheap)
Oh yea - and while it's not trad Mex but more Spanish with a heavy mexican influence - La Esquina is pretty ill too. The atmosphere and sorta Spies Like Us entrance are way fresh.
It's vegetarian, but Lan Cafe on sixth--just west of 1st avenue--is the best vietnamese food I've had in New York. Siagon grill is good, but it's way more industrial. Lan Cafe is one lady standing on a wooden box to reach the stove (on the real), and cooking you food that she cooks for the fam. Outstanding!
Whole thing kind of reminds me of the Reeses peanut butter cup commercials, two flavors coming together on some "WHOOPS, lookee here we got some VietnaMexicannnyCups".

Bahnmi: Nickys, 2nd St/Ave A (although I am sure a head raeler than myself can recommend something in Chinatown)
I am somewhat disconnected with the Pho real; someone else can surely recommend a spot.
Not sure if this is lengua en mejilla.
He said he liked it the most when you'd touch him behind the ears, at the nape even.
