Where El Camion Cantina appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Worth it

If you’re looking for an underrated joint where you won’t have to wait long for the best margaritas in NYC, I suggest swinging by El Camion Cantina. Let me be the first to say the drinks are strong, and if you’re not careful they will sneak up on you (I speak from experience!).
It’s not my fault though, they’re so good I usually finish my first one before the food comes out. There’s a variety of options that fresh and are (extremely) tempting. Not only are they infused with fruity flavors, but you’ll find liquor replacements (mezcal or brandy instead of tequila) and spicy margaritas.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
