About this business

Originally from Southern California, Ralph and Rina Camarillo's first visit to NYC was back in 1979 to see the musical "Zoot Suit", the first all Hispanic play on Broadway. What they didn't know at the time was that this would mark the beginning of a 30-year adventure celebrating their culture as Mexican Americans here in the Big Apple. They loved the city so much that they began bringing their children back for frequent visits over the next three decades. At the time, Ralph owned a construction firm and Rina worked as a fli... read more

Best California-Mexican in the area, in the city!! – I relocated to NYC and was recommended to this wonderful place by friends who know good cali-mex food. I have to say that I tried different places and have always come back to Florencia. New places have cropped up around there but as always, Florencia still beats them for taste and quality. Along with great food they have amazing margaritas and great customer service! They can get pretty hectic on the weekends but that's what draws the crowds. Everybody want to eat at Flor... read more

Best Fish Taco! – I spent my college years in San Diego and one of my food staples was the tasty fish taco. I ended up at Florencia on a Sunday afternoon with my friends from California that read about it online. Everything was amazing the food was perfect, the drinks were tasty and the waitress was hilarious. I even met the whole family. I've been back on many ocassions since, but I prefer the slower Sundays as compared to the crazier weekend nights. If you go by make sure you ask Chockie for a spicy La Chicana, it's the pe... read more

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE CITY!! – There are endless amounts of restaurants in NYC, and I think I have been to half. Honestly this tops them all. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious, and the management is superb! Did I mention that the drinks are amazing? I highly recommend The Flaming Margarita..

West Village hideaway offers authentic SoCal Mexican and powerful margaritas. – The Scene Cheech and Chong might feel at home at this dark, laid-back Mexican spot, alit with red Christmas lights and lined with eclectic images of souped-up cars and Day of the Dead skulls and crosses. Classic rock and roll keeps the sound level high. The Food The hearty California-Mexican menu centers on street food like classic burritos, tacos and enchiladas. Solid and spicy guacamole provides a potent delayed kick, but the three cheeses oozi... read more

Great service & Great food!! – We were there for a friend's birthday, expecting to have some good food among friends. But once we stepped in, it was like home. This is especially true for those of you who know authentic mexi-cali cuisine. The food is what we remembered from our days in Los Angeles. Truly tasty and unforgettable. I had the Playa Del Rey burrito and my fiancee had the fish and shrimp tacos... all yummy. You have to try the Flan! Another great plus is the hospitality. You were greeted at your table by the owner... read more

The tacos are tasty....but the drinks are worth staying for a few post-dinner rounds – I've been in NYC for 15 years and I rarely have the chance to get back to LA, where I grew up. I was happy to stumble across this tiny( but cozy) slice of home, hidden in the West Village. The food is excellent and quite a bargin for New York prices. I really enjoy the cholo worshipping decor and Lennard and I have been known to throw back shot after shot on a Saturday night. If it's a killer margarita or top-notch Mojito that you crave, l... read more

Tiny, but wow! – The food is terrific; not your ordinary Mexican food, this is flavorful, well-seasoned, authentic. The place is tiny but comfortable. Service is great. Highly recommended.

A little piece of LA in NYC..... – My wife and I stumbled upon Florencia 13 purely by accident. Little did we know that it would end up being our home away from home in NYC. I grew up and have lived in the Los Angeles area for 35 years. Take it from me, a true Southern California native, the food at Florencia 13 is the real deal, real Southern California style Mexican food. The margaritas are the best that I've ever had, make sure that you order it flaming. The thing that I most enjoy about this restaraunt is the cool vibe a... read more

Real Southern California Mexican Food! – As a Southern California native I was really taken aback by the LACK OF GOOD Mexican food restaurants in NYC.... until I came upon FLORENCIA 13 by chance one day on my first visit to the city. Let me just say that after a week in NYC I was starting to feel a bit home sick for the Los Angeles area and FLORENCIA 13 was like a little piece of home away from home. The food REALLY IS Southern California style Mexican food and it's to die for. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, the owners ar... read more
