So part of the reason that I wanted to check Dos Toros out was because I heard that it’s one of the only, if not the only authentic San Fransisco style Mexican food spots in NYC. I’m still not sure exactly what that means or if I even care at this point because Tehuzingto in [...]

The El Rey Del Sabor cart is a cart that I knew I wanted to succeed the first time I ate there when it opened up about year and a half ago. Mainly because if you work or live in the east 50′s your only other real option to get authentic tacos is from Pampano Taqueria [...]

I tried really hard to dig the Financial District’s lunch scene during my five years down there but it never really happened. I mean there are a few places that I miss like Zak’s, Adrienne’s Pizza Bar, Urban Lobster Shack, Picnic Smoked and Shirley’s Jamaican Food Cart but for the most part the food sucked [...]

These Chinese/Mexican joints get a bad rap and often it is with good reason. The only time I’ve ever been food poisoned was at one of these spots (not this one) and it was fucking awful. I hallucinated and during the three days I was sick I would have rather been healthy, spending the time [...]

There’s not a lot to say about the taco truck that usually sits on 18th street and 6th Avenue with “The Brothers L&C Latin Fast Food Truck” painted on the side. You’ll actually have to look pretty hard for the Mexican food listing and if you didn’t know better than you might think the truck only [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but I do not get the good reputation that Pampano Taqueria has. I’ve been there about five times now and even if they don’t screw my order up and I wind up eating what I asked for, the food is still mediocre at best. I however used to be able to [...]

When we have staff meetings at my office myself and my partner usually treat our staff to lunch. We like to mix it up and get things a little more interesting than the standard pizza or wraps (although Adrienne’s is pretty damn good.) Over the past year we’ve gotten the staff sandwiches from Alidoro, banh [...]

Yes, I know I’ve been slipping big time on the burger portion of this blog. Actually I’ll be honest, I plan to make up for as time goes on. First off I really heart La Esquina. While I’ve never been in their dungeon, I’ve had more than enough lunches and late nights at their take [...]

There’s been a fair amount of food blog hoopla about Baja Fresh opening it’s first location in Manhattan a few weeks back. There were long lines, heated debates over the better Mexican food chain (Baja vs. Chiptole) and up to the minute updates days before it’s opening. I think lines fucking suck. I hate them [...]
