A Mexi-midtown experience!

 Is it possible? Good, fairly priced Mexican in mid-town? To say the least, I was extremely skeptical upon entering Mi Nidito. Being a current resident of Harlem and having lived in Washington Heights, I am surrounded by an abundance of excellent, cheap Mexican food.
In my daily lunch stroll down 8th avenue, I am constantly handed a flyer for Mi Nidito so finally I caved and checked it out. Definitely had an authentic feeling that I did not expect for mid-town and was pleasantly surprised. No need for over-priced 'gourmet' Mexican food--give me the real deal. The appetizer that caught my eye and later caught my heart was the King Crab Nachos. Being a sucker for nachos and the fact crab was involved made this a done deal.
While expecting a huge plate of nachos, I was welcomed to a small plate of about six or so nachos (medium size proportion) that were topped with king Alaskan crab, guacamole (my fav) and melted cheese. Immediately after taking a bite I was hooked. It was like a spicy, seafood party in my mouth topped with the crunch of tortilla and guac. They were so good that I did not want to stop eating to take a picture :)
This is definitely a new go-to for lunch where I will be going and getting the King Crab enchilada. The prices are decent being that it is mid-town and the theater district. If you work in the area, it is worth going to for lunch or if you need a quick bite before/after a show this beats out the competition.
