"A meal at Ursula is the closest you can get to New Mexican food in New York, with chile peppers and other ingredients imported directly from the Land of Enchantment. It’s open all day, serving sandwiches and their legendary hash brown-stuffed breakfast burritos until 2pm. At night, they switch over to small plates, like eggplant tamal and corn salad, and cocktails. The space is done up in vibrant pink and turquoise, with a few tables in the front dining room, and a long bar in the back overlooking an open kitchen. We recommend grabbing a seat here so you can watch the chefs drop battered chicken into a Dutch oven of hot oil before it goes into your green chile-smothered sandwich." - neha talreja, nikko duren, bryan kim
