Molly Gonzales' La Casita   

Housed in a bright pink adobe structure on Midtown's Madison Avenue, Molly's La Casita has served delicious Tex-Mex food for decades. A popular fixture in the eclectic neighborhood, Molly's bartenders rate high among local single women, while men give their thumbs up for the hot salsa and free chips that come with every meal. On Margarita Mondays, freewheeling twentysomethings arrive singly then quickly pair off for a night of drinking and debauchery. But before you cry ''Ay! Carrambe!'' take a gander at the boys at that back table. Like what you see? Send over a bowl of chunky guacamole dip along with a round of tequila shooters. Before you can shout ''arriba,'' you'll be doing the Mexican hat dance with the muchacho of your choice. - Andria Lisle
