Vecino
Modern Mexican
The masa section of the menu says a lot about a modern Mexican restaurant: handmade enchiladas, tostadas, tetelas, each one built with the care of someone who grew up arguing about corn. Vecino sits in Midtown with a warm, spare interior and a menu that pulls from Mexico City and Oaxaca without apology. Esquire named it one of America's best new restaurants in 2024, and it landed a James Beard semifinalist nod the following year.
