'Where everyone knows your name': Five N.Y. finds

(5 Burro Cafe was highlighted in this Daily News article)

This cramped little hole in the wall in Forest Hills, Queens, gives Tex-Mex joints a good name. A real Mexican chef cooks up the south of the border-style chow but this is essentially a drinking bar, with killer margaritas swerved up by a friendly staff who like to socialize here when they're off duty. That's testament to 5 Burro's party atmosphere--who hangs out where they work if they don't have to?

"We get a great crowd and a great mix, from business people coming home from work and stopping in for a drink, couples on dates or coming back from the


movies, or groups of friends out to have a good time," says Dana Wishnoff, the daytime bartender. "We also get a lot of shoppers who stop in for a bite, then eventually become regular customers."

5 Burros is owned by George and Marla Cornejo, a young couple with his-and-her Harley's who treat their customers as if they're entertaining in their living room. It's a loud, lively place where the tequila flows like the Rio Grande.
