So maybe I made a mistake when I ordered something other than tacos at a taqueria? But then again, if it's on the menu.. it's fair game right?
I ordered the milanesa de pollo (chicken) … and it came as bistec (beef) instead. Honest mistake-one that I didn't mind. What I did mind was the the salad that came with the dish came overly pre-dressed for me. I also didn't like the flavor of the food – most being too salty (especially the rice and beans).
I'll give the tacos a try in the near future… but with caution.
More like 2.5 stars, but I'm rounding down since I doubt I'll return since there are many options nearby.
The chips were a mixed batch. Some were fresh and crisp, but many verged on being stale. The salsa was slightly better than adequate.
They were out of barbacoa de chivo, so I settled for a chorizo taco. The meat was a bit too soft for my liking and wasn't really crisped up on the griddle, although the flavor was good. The tortilla was past the fresh stage and the texture was bothersome – not quite stale, but also no longer supple. It also hadn't really been toasted on the griddle, which would have helped considerably. I ate the filling and left the tortilla behind – a rare act for me.
The taco arabe was disappointing. I've had it at several other places in Jackson Heights and have never had a stellar version – but this one was the least satisfactory of them all. The meat didn't have much crispness on the edges as one desires from a shawarma, and it wasn't succulent. The seasoning on the meat wasn't very pronounced. The saving grace was a squirt of lime and the red chili paste that came on the side. The flour tortilla, while properly griddled this time, still tasted past its prime.
Perhaps my meal was lackluster since it was at 11pm on a Friday. But it was relatively busy in there so I was expecting more quality and freshness than I received.
Some of the baked good look decent, even though I'm not a fan of Mexican pastries (they tend to be too dry). I was surprised to see large chocolate glazed donuts!
