Why it is in the guide
Casa Enrique opened in 2012 under chef Cosme Aguilar and restaurateur Luis Aguilar. The restaurant's history explains that its cooking reconnects Cosme with family recipes and flavors from Chiapas after years working in French kitchens.
We include it because the regional point of view distinguishes it from a general taco stop. It suits a planned sit-down meal and pairs well with a Long Island City waterfront or arts itinerary.
Best suited to
- A sit-down Mexican dinner
- Chiapas-influenced cooking
- Long Island City plans
Before you go
- Reserve ahead for a fixed dinner schedule.
