Cap off a day of exploring the American Museum of Natural History with the family by grabbing a bite at this local Tex-Mex chain. Appetizers like wild mushroom quesadillas ($10) and shredded pork flautas ($8) are perfectly kid-sized. Tots will also love the handmade guacamole. If you’re bored of the traditional weekend brunch fare, try Cilantro’s huevos rancheros ($9) or breakfast burrito ($8).
It's easy to fall into a lull of less-than-exciting meals when you're feed a family, but when it comes time to kick it up a notch, look no further than these family restaurants serving flavorful Mexican food. Festive eateries like Cilantro provide plenty for the peanut gallery to enjoy while keeping adults interested with spicy and sophisticated dishes; and, as with most Latin American spots, the atmosphere is a whole lot of fun. Rosa Mexicano lets little ones mash their own guacamole tableside and Habana Outpost hosts arts and crafts sessions for families on weekends!
