Yellow Rose.

Worth it, says Antonina. This busy Tex Mex restaurant is known for toothsome breakfast tacos and mean margaritas (hair of the dog, anyone?).

If you’re in the market for great restaurants rumored to cure hangovers, consider swinging by Yellow Rose. This busy Tex Mex restaurant is known for toothsome breakfast tacos and mean margaritas (hair of the dog, anyone?).

The homemade flour tortillas churn out of the kitchen daily, perfect canvases for everything on the menu from the crowd-favorite tacos to migas.

The succinct brunch menu spotlights breakfast tacos, which come in eight variations (don’t sleep on the chorizo and egg). End your meal with homemade donuts to see why this one of the most popular brunch restaurants in the East Village.

Only if

If you’re in the market for a great restaurant that’s rumored to cure hangovers, consider swinging by Yellow Rose. It’s a Tex-Mex restaurant (meaning they serve more American-styled Mexican food) that serves delicious breakfast tacos and a mean margarita (hair of the dog, anyone?).

The atmosphere of this brunch spot is laid back and offers vegan options so everyone can find something that suits their fancy here. The margaritas pack a punch and are basically the size of your head. Eating at Yellow Rose is one of the best things to do in the East Village when you’re desperate for a meal but don’t have the energy to cook.
