Pinche Taqueria

I. Love. This. Place.

I met a friend here one night before a Meet-Up and having just eaten decided I would just have a cup of water. Then she brought over her tray of tacos. Tacos. Yes. This makes sense. This is what a taco is supposed to look like! For a kid raised out on Long Island who ate A LOT of Taco Bell this was a major epiphany. A small tortilla loaded loosely with char grilled chicken, some raw onions and a dollop of guacamole. It looked so simple and so right that I did not even ask or hesitate before grabbing one off her plate and shoving it into my face. It was delicious.

Luckily I freelance just down the street from this place and frequent it for lunch. I have had almost everything on the menu at this point and can’t find fault with any of it. This includes price and service because I am cheap and picky. My favorite dish is the Tostada Carnitas. The pork is amazing though I have a had a few people get weirded out by its rather strong smell. You can’t go wrong with the basic grilled chicken taco and I hear the fish is comparable to California’s coveted Mexican food. (being right near Mexico you’d think people would make that the comparison)

Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
