More reviews!

September 4, 2011
Almond 
12 E 22nd St (between Park and Broadway)
New York, NY 10010(212) 228-7557

Big serving sizes, great to go for brunch because it's usually not crowded and you can get a table without waiting.  Would have liked more flavorful beans but the huevos rancheros was good - would order it again.

Macando
157 E Houston St (between East Houston St & 2nd Ave)
New York, NY 10002
(212) 473-9900

One picture is of the huevos rancheros with the eggs scrambled, and the second picture shows the eggs cooked traditionally.  This place has a great all-you-can-drink brunch deal, but this particular dish wasn't too memorable.  I haven't been a fan of huevos rancheros cooked in a skillet - haven't found a good one yet, so if you know of any, please leave a comment & let me know!

La Calle Doce

I really should write these entries right after eating at the place so I don't forget.

Almond

New York, NY 10010(212) 228-7557

Almond again.  This isn't huevos ranchros but I took a picture anyway.

Cowgirl Seahorse

259 Front St (between Peck Slip & Dover St)
New York, NY 10038

Yum - warm and filling on a cold night. Not bad but this place was so out of the way, I doubt I'll be back any time soon.

Catching up

I’m so behind on these reviews, but here are all the places I’ve had huevos rancheros over the past few years (1 tortilla soup place):
 
July 1, 2010
Mexican Radio
19 Cleveland Pl (between Kenmare St & Spring St)
New York, NY 10012 
(212) 343-0140
Food was decent but we sat downstairs and there was a weird, hard-to-ignore smell.
 

October 16, 2010
Cookshop
156 10th Ave (between 19th St & 20th St)
New York, NY 10011

 (212) 924-4440
Someone I know raved about the huevos rancheros here, however, he should have warned me that that are NOT huevos rancheros. They are more like baked eggs and have pickled onions. The spiciness was good. Had high expectations that were not met – not even close. The main memory I have of these is that they were definitely not the best – mediocre to bad.

Spoon
17 W 20th St (between 5th Ave & Avenue Of The Americas)
New York, NY 10011
(646) 230-7000 
Not as saucy, but all the components were flavorful. Basic & good.

November 7, 2010
Blockheads
1563 2nd Ave (between 81st St & 82nd St)
New York, NY 10028
(212) 879-1999
We came here before watching the marathon (I assume because it was convenient, not because of the food). Not really sure why people like Blockheads… would never recommend the food.

November 21, 2010
Cafe Cortadito
210 E 3rd St (between Avenue B & Avenue C)
New York, NY 10009
(212) 614-3080
I hardly remember coming to this place, which means it wasn’t good enough to be memorable. 

January 29, 2011
Wicked Spoon Buffet
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
3708 Las Vegas Blvd S
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 698-7000
This buffet as a whole was pretty amazing! And the huevos rancheros were really good! Over a year ago and I still remember them well.

April 2011
Bogota Latin Bistro
141 5th Ave (between Lincoln Pl & St. John's Pl)
Brooklyn, NY 11217
(718) 230-3805
I haven’t been to Brooklyn since this! That’s not meant to imply that I didn’t like the food. The soup was way too salty (couldn’t even finish it) and the rest of the food I ate was much better (chips, main course).

This place was amazing! Only about a 10 minute wait and we split 2 dishes - the Huevos Rancheros and Chocolate Chip pancakes. Both were wonderful. In the Huevos Rancheros, the rice and beans were great mixed together. The eggs were cooked perfectly to what we ordered (over medium). It was a bit odd that there was ham, and I couldn't really tatste it. If you send them a picture of your dog in a frame, they will put it on the wall:
