Late night "Real" Mexican food

I can't seem to post a thread in Changarros y Mas where this belongs. Sorry. But, I do have a lot of info and most agree that great authentic Mexican food typically is found before 7:00pm. Are any open later? Not tourist places, but "REAL" Mexican places. Thanks.

El Fogón is open late, as is Doña Mary. El Fogón has several locations, my favorite is on 30th avenue between 32nd and 34th st. Doña Mary is on 30th avenue with, I think 28th street.

Also, real Mexican food can be found at Carboncitos, on 4th street just off 5th avenue. I think we all agree that they have the best "real" Mexican food in town. Don't know how late they are all open, though.

There's a kind of snack bar opposite Mambo.

Stays open until around 2.00 a.m.

VERY cheap and tasty.

A great spot that I've eaten at plenty of times was located on the corner of 15th ave and either 8th or 10th, but then it could have been 6th.... It was open at close to 4am in febuary... Stopped in for some really good tacos al pastor. It's certainly my new favortie late night spot.

There are many places away from 5th and 10th avenues with real Mexican food that open late and close late (Heather mentioned a couple). Many open around 5-6pm and close around 3am. If you walk down 15th ave or 30th ave you'll find something late night.

I think that is Tacos El Rey, only open at night and, yes, tasty late night, cheap eats. Do check out El Fogon, any of the three locations. El Serape on Juarez is open late and is always pretty well packed. All, along Avenida 30 you will find lots of good, late night options.
