5 of Brooklyn’s Best Mexican Restaurants, Just In Time for Cinco de Mayo!
La Botaneria: The new baby sister to Roberto Santibanez’s reliably terrific (but perpetually underrated) Fonda, this tiny shoebox of a restaurant concentrates on shareable snacks. Try the pimenton aioli dabbed tortilla espanola, the crock of tomato sauce sluiced albondigas (meatballs), or an assortment of quesos and chacuteria, paired with a can of Tecate, a glass of Chilean rosé, or a classic Paloma, made with mezcal, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and tonic.
