I've been on the hunt for authentic chorizo tacos for a while.
Let me immediately take that back: I have done no hunting for chorizo tacos. I love chorizo tacos, but I have not sought them out since moving to Bushwick. But Saturday afternoon, it was beautiful, and I was hungover. I wanted chorizo tacos in the park, and nothing else would do.
I found Taqueria Izucar on Yelp, and plugged in an order for pick-up. Tacos were $1.50 each, so I got five. I've got a disgusting appetite, and I'm quite proud of it.
Strolled down Myrtle Ave and into the cereal box-sized restaurant. I was greeted with grins all around, and squeezed between the lunchtime regulars to pick up my order.
Lunch secured, I headed to said park, and had a delightfully authentic experience: tortillas double-wrapped (let's not go there, it's Monday), with plenty of cilantro. Nice. This may be my weekend in-the-park-grub staple.
Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Bushwick! Tacos are tiny, but a steal at $1.50-$3 each. Everyone says get the suadero (which is delicious), but our favorite was the arabe.
We also tried the huaraches with veal flank ($4.50), and the chicken enchiladas with red sauce ($10). DEAR GOD, the enchiladas were spicy! Not sure what I was expecting, but it took plenty of milk and over an hour for my mouth to cool down. Came with a huge portion, but be careful if you're sensitive to spicy foods.
Delivery was also fast!
Small tacos but that suadero taco (veal flank) is legitimately DELICIOUS. Long braised so it's super tender and somewhat fatty, it's packed with flavor. For $1.50, I think it's a great deal.
The al pastor was sliced in thin strips and rather dry but still tasty. Carne enchilada taco came with long strings of onion–good, too but could've used a tad more meat. Was told that the tinga taco was really good, too, but I don't know if I'll ever try it when I can just order several of the suadero ones! I would go here for those alone and right now, I'm regretting I didn't get a few more…
Service was friendly and as others have said, it's a tiny storefront. Tacos are super cheap at $1.50-1.75 each but they're a tad smaller than ones you'll get elsewhere.
