Casa Enrique
Mexican
The line out front in Long Island City is your landmark. Casa Enrique is a buzzy Mexican restaurant where family recipes share the menu with tacos and guacamole, but the kitchen finds its footing with the bigger plates: braised lamb shank, branzino marinated al pastor, and a mole that appears in several forms and never disappoints. Frozen watermelon margaritas keep arriving whether you asked or not, which is not a complaint.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Braised lamb shank
“Think Branzino prepared “al pastor” and marinated in guajillo and achiote or the braised lamb shank set in a fruity-spicy broth.”
Michelin Guide -
Mole
“Above all else, there must be mole, which is excellent in all its forms from chicken enchilada to just chicken and rice.”
Michelin Guide -
Tres leches
“For dessert, tres leches is the classic, sweet finale or just ask your waiter for another round of frozen watermelon margaritas.”
