Mama Mexico's is pretty funny. /the wandering dudes with the tequila can get a little insistent.
If you want good trash Mexican on the UWS, check out Taqueria de la Fonda on Amsterdam and like 105. Giant bricks of burrito for $9 or so.
Owner is super chill, has given us tequila shots on the house tons of times when we wander in stoned. Says he's planning a major renovation soon with room for a small live band and full bar b/c he bought out the hair salon place next door.
