The last thing I think of when I imagine Upper West restaurants is a chill California vibe, but there goes Playa Betty’s, dropping a beachy restaurant on 75th and Amsterdam.

Lime and mole are the two things I really took away from my Camion (@camionnyc) food truck experience. When it comes to burritos, those are good takeaways. Anybody can make a burrito like Chipotle, but getting rice infused with cilantro and lime and a deep sriracha mole sauce is better. There could have maaaaybe been…
