Tex-Mex in NYC??
Yeah, really hard to find Tex-Mex or Southwestern food in the city. Don't know why. I hate it when people tell me Mesa Grill is southwestern. But, if you want another mexican place that's pretty authentic, I like Mole on Allen and houston across from the gigantic american apparel billboard. I also like Puebla, best steak tacos with guajillo rub.
Best Steamed Pork Buns?
The person that started this thread seems to be asking for steamed pork buns, either char siu bao (red pork instead a big round bun) or xiao long bao (soup dumplings). Momofuku's shredded pork in mantou is NEITHER. It is a fusion creation. Good, but not a Chinese pork bun. If you want a good xiao long bao (go to the xinjiang soup dumpling spot on prince street in flushing next to Lu's 68 Seafood, I think it's 68, may be another number...)
