How Casa Enrique Became the First Mexican Restaurant to Earn a Michelin Star in NY Mise En Place

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Chef Cosme Aguilar worked in French fine dining for 15 years before opening Casa Enrique in 2012. The restaurant earned a Michelin star just two years later. Aguilar built the menu using his mother s old recipes, serving dishes like fluke ceviche, mole de Piaxtla, chorizo tacos, and more. Rad: I feel like Michelin stars aren t as valuable as they once were. I ve eaten at plenty of places that didn t have any stars and the food was great and the cost wasn t terrible and I ve eaten at a few 1 star Michelin star rated restaurants and the food was overpriced and overrated.

This seems like fairly standard authentic Mexican food done the right way, but some white people in New York decided this place inparticular gets a Michelin star, so it gets the classical music treatment instead of the standard YIEEEYIEEYIIIHIHIIIIIIII Tejano music you usually hear accompanying Mexican restaurant videos.

Patiently waiting on Tatiana to receive their star! They're literally voted the 1st restaurant by the Times! They deserve it, and this video shows it too! This chef presents his cuisine with such honor, and connection to his culture, and Tatiana does the same!

I make guacamole most everyday. I have a line of avocados in the order of use. There were avocado from Peru that were terrible. It was very hard to gauge ripeness and the seed was hard to remove. Viva Avocado from Mexico!

Wow that process of making it takes so much effort. If if it's me, i would find a way to make the operations easier without losing the quality, bcs it's way too complicated for a daily thing

The amount of work involved in making the mole sauce is staggering. As is the array of ingredients. No shortcuts from Chef Aguilar; this guy is working hard, every minute of the day.

I know you longer live in New York. I m now in Florida. I will definitely check out this restaurant when I go visit my family there. Thanks for sharing. Love, Mexican food

The concept of a Michelin Star is outdated. This place seems amazing, but having to judge everything to french standards of cooking is beyond dumb.

This is the type of restaurant that deserves a star or more, instead of the _ let's dunk half our menu in nitrogen _ type of hype beast.

Down to earth food but with a lot of care and attention paid to each step of its preparation. That's gotta be a satisfying meal.
