There are a couple of Mexican restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment and I still need to check them out, but so far Sabor A Mexico has won my heart (there’s also an East Village location). I went a few Fridays ago and was surprised that my [...]

I was invited to try a new taqueria in Flatiron, so on Friday night, my roommate and I headed to Choza Taqueria on Madison between 27th and 28th.
Now, you may have heard of Choza before if you work downtown. There is a Choza down by the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the open [...]

I’m not going to lie - I can eat Mexican pretty much for every meal. On Sunday, my roommate and I were hoping to check out the infamous taco truck in Astoria, but when we couldn’t find it, we settled on a new Mexican favorite - El Mariachi.
We went in and sat at [...]

Last night my roommate and I headed to El Parador Cafe, which is right by our apartment on 34th between 1st and 2nd. El Parador is the oldest Mexican restaurant in NYC and in fact, my roommate’s parents dined there 35 years ago. We were starving after a day of moving, so we [...]

After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop. And then on the corner of North 7th and Bedford Ave, right near the Salvation Army, was Tacos Morelos.
While the [...]

I love Mexican food, so when I was asked to plan a work event, I immediately thought of a great deal I read about at Vamos, on 20th and 1st. All day on Monday, you can get all you can eat tacos and a margarita for $19.
We were seated inside the restaurant since [...]

Yeah, the rain sucks (I’m currently wearing a co-worker’s gym shorts so my jeans can dry while hanging over my cubicle wall…), but there is something worth smiling about - Celebrate Mexico Now. In its sixth year, this festival celebrates contemporary Mexican art and culture through dance, film, literature, music, and our favorite, cuisine. [...]

I’ve been making my way through the Diner’s Deck cards and was in the mood for Mexican a few weeks ago. La Palapa is the third Mexican spot I tried in the deck (I previously hit up Diablo Royale and Mexican Radio), and by far the greatest disappointment. The other two had some really good [...]

For those who have been reading the blog, you know I’m a big fan of Blockheads. So when I started to crave Mexican after a long day at work, I knew I was going to order takeout from Blockheads UES location. While I used Menu Pages to look up the number, something told me [...]
