You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Your 2 choices in Manhattan for Burritos are Benny's and Harry's. You are not going to find California style Mexican food in New York like you will in California simply because there are not enough Mexicans in New York to support good Mexican food like there are here in California.

I've lived in Manhattan and San Francisco, and I've been poor in both places so I know my burritos.

@emmylou's recommendations are good, but they will not taste as good as the ones in L.A. Sometimes it's good to give in to the latino flavors that are available in the city you happen to be in.

Your friend will most likely find the best Cuban food in NY. Even when I traveled within Mexico... the tastes and sauces changed from each city I visited. A decent Cuban Bistro is Agozar! Here is a link for your friend. http://www.agozarnyc.com/

Or what about a Cuban fused burrito? He'll never find anything like this back home!

Yeah, not compared to LA. Calexico in Brooklyn is pretty good, but not exactly "authentic".
