Tamales Elena y Antojitos

This Afro-Mexican restaurant serves up pozoles, tamales and phenomenal tacos from Mexico's Guerrero region, piling avocado and cabbage and chicharrones atop hours-long–simmered stews, and folding masa into both corn husks and banana leaves, depending on your mood. Our advice? Order both varieties of tamales (as well as some sweet ones), and always order extra to take home with you.
