Cortelyou’s Cinco de Mayo in the Village Voice

Cortelyou Road’s Cinco de Mayo got a lot of love in the Village Voice last week.

Cinco de Mayo’s goat soup is the soup of my dreams. Thin, but deep in flavor. The tomato-based broth has chunks of goat on the bone and nuggets of hominy. I usually add in a healthy squeeze of lime juice and a big bunch of chopped cilantro. Last time I checked, it only served this soup on the weekends — it starts slow-cooking the meat on Friday.

In addition to goat soup, writer and artist L. Nichols dives into her favorite tacos.

I imagine we have a lot of Cinco de Mayo fans here. What do you think, is it the best goat soup you’ve ever had or is there competition elsewhere in the neighborhood? What else do you like at the restaurant? What’s your favorite Mexican spot?
