Sinigual New York

I recall walking by Sinigual as they were building it and thinking the entrance is not very inviting. I am not a follower of Feng Shui but something about this place on 42 street didn’t seem very inviting. Several months later, my wife and I were in the neighborhood around lunch time and decided to give it a try.  They obviously put a lot of money into Sinigual. Unfortunately, is very little that differentiates Sinigual from every other overpriced Mexican place in NYC, except for the fact that they started the meal with fresh tortillas instead of chips. I liked the tortillas but wasn’t sure what to do with the salsa and butter on the table. My wife had chicken fajitas, which were good enough. A highlight was the little scoop corn mash that i used to love to get at Chevy’s as a kid (it was no better than Chevy’s). I had the fish tacos. The piece of fish inside was very small and all I remember from the meal was the mayo that overpowered. I asked for hot sauce to overpower the mayo.  All in all, stick with Mercadito for Mexican in NYC.
