New York Foodie Finds | 🌟 LIC Has a Michelin Star Too! 🌟

【Casa Enrique】 📍 5-48 9th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 My Mexican colleague told me there’s a 🇲🇽 Michelin-starred restaurant in LIC. I checked Yelp and discovered it’s the blue and white riverside spot with long queues every time I passed by! 🌆 The staff were super enthusiastic, bringing us complimentary snacks as soon as we sat down—something like fried pork rinds? They tasted just like the shrimp chips back home, with a flavor that makes you want to keep popping them in your mouth! 🍟 1️⃣ Albondigas en Chipotle: Beef and Egg Meatballs with Smoky Tomato Sauce 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Three words: Oh my gosh! The beef meatballs with eggs inside are incredibly flavorful and have a rich texture. The slightly sweet, smoky tomato-based sauce is the perfect finishing touch! 🍖🍅 2️⃣ Menudo: Mexican Tripe Soup 🌟🌟🌟 This soup is packed with tripe, intestines, and oxtail. It has a braised flavor with some mysterious spices. Overall, it’s a hearty and flavorful soup with a strong organ meat taste. 🥄 #NewYork #MichelinExperience #MexicanCuisine 🌟
