The torta Norteña from @tacomixusa in #Queens, breaded steak, but a true nothern torta would have carne asada & pinto beans. Love this spot, but I worry that Horchata Deli next door, one of the best spots in the barrio, has to compete.
See you soon, #Syracuse
First visit to the newly opened @tacomixusa in #Queens finally. Used to go to the spot on 116th for years when I lived in East Harlem. Some of the best al pastor in the city, so excited to see a spot here in the barrio. I went with tacos al pastor & a taco abarbe. The report: better than I rembered, and I think contendor for the best taco in Queens. ✨🌮✨
Bueno, 72 hours in #CarolinaDelNorte & I made it to @sunrisebiscuitkitchen four times. On the way to the airport today, I stopped by for one more ✨pork chop biscuit✨
Yes, that is barbacoa in a skillet, at @joseandsons where Mex meets Southern in a very intentional way. Son buena gente I met last year at the Southern Foodways Symposium last year.
Not easy to find a good #michelada in the Sur, but gracias a diosito @joseandsons delivers. Chingao, more to come from one of my favorite #CarolinaDelNorte spots.
¡Sweet baby Quetzalcoatl! Nothing but 😍 for #NorthCarolina biscuits. @sunrisebiscuitkitchen with the chicken & porkchop goodness. Been in Carolina for abt 24 hours, been to this spot twice already.
Back in #CarolinaDelNorte to celebrate #NationalTacoDay with these asada, al pastor, & barbacoa beauties from #LaVaquita #nc
The Poblanos strike again. Haven't had such a fantastic buche taco for a while. 😍
#CasaMexico with some of the best tortillas in #Providence. And the barbacoa is 🔥 too.
Órale #OraleTaqueria in #Providence a solid taqueria in the barrio with excellent barbacoa & al pastor. ✨🌮✨
Got a good feeling about this. #RhodeIsland
The #calentado breakfast, so that means @gustavo_arellano dropped by #Queens from California for the Colombian comidas. One of the only spots open at 6am around Roosevelt. 🇨🇴
Diner scene: Queens.
The @casaenrique enchiladas are always a win. The tortillas are fresh with the scent of nixtamal 😍. Still convinced that the #7TrainFoodways are NYC's finest. 🗽🇲🇽
Tamales with the #StJohnsUniversity @intlhousesju jovenes learning about Mexican foodways in Queens. 40 Tamales from #DeliciasPuebla in #JacksonHeights de mole & de rajas, & some of the students trying their first tamal ever. We also watched the @southernfoodways film #Mexington to learn about how food brings folks together & breaks down walls. 🇲🇽🗽
It's true. PM if interested in participating. ✨🌮✨
Viva México cabrones! #16deseptiembre #mexicanindependenceday 🇲🇽🗽
Behold the #BandejaPaisa from @raicescolombianas_restaurant in #JacksonHeights. Carne asada, half a chorizo, chicharrón, frijoles, arroz topped with a fried egg, maduros, arepita, & a slice of avocado. Now: tengo sueño. 😴
A favorite from the @queensnightmarket at the #JacksonHeights #VivaLaComida street fair @themalaysianproject with still one of the best 🍔s around. They wrap the patty in egg, #AHuevo #Queens
