I moved from Austin, TX and among the other things that I miss about the vibrant, liberal culture of Austin(thankfully New York offers the same) is the yummilicious tex mex food. I have burnt my fingers attempting at several "Mexican" restaurants in New York and have not been really satisfied. Would anyone know of a place that serves genuinely good Mexican food?
Please response only If you have experienced the Mexican restaurants of Texas/NM/ California, and have found something that can compare in this city. If you do not have the benchmark, you may not be able to relate to my frustration.

Without a doubt for food and atmoshere I would say Rosa Mexicno, the one across from Lincoln Center. There are 2 others. The original is on 58th and 1st and I' m not sure where the new one is, you would have to check it out, I know it's downtown. Also, excellent,but noise is Zarela on 2nd ave around 50th. Zarala has been around for a long time. She was head chef of a very fancy restaurant on the upper east side for quite awhile, and she was the first one to bring real Mexican food other than Taxacos and Tortilas. I remeber her Borocho Chichen, which was chicken made with vodka instead wine like the french. I know there are other Mexican restaurants, but these 2 are real restaurants not just taco or fajatas loaded with grease and guacaole,

Zarela's on the East side is owned by the same people as Rosa Mexicana, but it's the original restaurant and a lot better. It's a hole in the wall that serves amazingly strong margaritas. From my experience, Rosa Mexicana pales in comparison.

Dos Caminos is really good.
On the casual side, Uncle Mo's is great.
