Mesa Coyoacan

"Mesa Coyacan in Williamsburg is teaming up with Feed The Frontlines NYC to deliver food to healthcare workers in Elmhurst Hospital and Mount Sinai Queens. You can check out their progress on their Instagram, as well as donate directly to Feed The Frontlines NYC here. And if you live in the Williamsburg area and want to support their business and get some takeout dinner for yourself, you can get pick-up or delivery through their website." - hannah albertine

"Food is just as important as activism to Justice and Lindsley, which is why Nuestra Mesa—a volunteer-run kitchen collective specializing in fundraising initiatives for mutual aid in Brooklyn—is one of their first recommendations to come to mind. “We are so in awe of their work and spirit,” Justice and Lindsley say. “Every Nuestra Mesa event we’ve been to has been a little bit different, but equally exciting!” Some of their favorites from these events have included dishes like sorullitos de maiz with mayoketchup, and chuletas fritas with pickled onion and charred pepper. “We don’t want to imagine a world without folks like Nuestra Mesa. Their vision and determination literally changes lives in our neighborhoods and reminds us that we can do it too! We all have a responsibility to participate in mutual aid.”" - sam stone 1

"We ordered from Mesa Coyoacan after trying to figure out what was open within walking distance, and I walked to go get it in the snow, which actually wasn’t that bad. We had an order of chips and guacamole and each got enchiladas verdes with chicken. Totally acceptable! "

"Mexico City native, chef Ivan Garcia is at the helm of this Brooklyn hot spot, where wolfish appetites are sated with richly flavored cooking. Fronted by windows that open up on to bustling Graham Avenue, the long space is outfitted with patterned wallpaper, snug banquettes and communal tables. The kitchen's spirited presentations are simply a joy. Partake in tacos featuring hand-crafted tortillas, like the suadero for instance, stuffed with beef brisket and avocado salsa; or torta tinga de pollo, packed with shredded chipotle-braised chicken, mashed black beans, pickled jalapeños and a toasted roll to sop up that delish sauce. Reposado and diced mango enhances the pastel tres leches—and to keep the tequila flowing, hit up nearby Zona Rosa." - The MICHELIN Guide
