Two years ago I discovered a little Mexican restaurant called
"Taco,Taco" and it quickly became one of my favorite spots on the Upper
East Side. When I lived in that area, I swear I was dining there once a
week. Eventually I moved back to Pennsylvania and had to learn how to
fight the
Taco, Taco cravings.
When I moved back to NYC last October one
of the first things I wanted to eat was some Taco,Taco. Alex and I took
the hour long subway ride from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side and the
whole way all we could talk about was how delicious this was going to
be! Little did we know, the original
Taco, Taco location was CLOSED! I
was almost in tears.
After we stood on the street corner pondering what
could have possibly happened that the place would be shut down, I turned
around and there was a Mexican restaurant called
Móle across the
street that looked quite similar to
Taco,Taco. We ventured over and-
ta-dahh!- it was
Taco,Taco with a new name and a larger space. Hallelujah!
So, since
discovering that
Taco,Taco got a name change, we have also discovered
they have four locations. One of them is in Brooklyn, and whats even
better is it's only a few stops away from our house!
You have
got to check this place out next time you are in the mood for some
Mexican cuisine. It has a intimate feel with dim lighting and close seating.
The fresh guacamole is a must! Choose one avocado
or two and they bring all of the ingredients on a tray to the table and
make it right in front of you. It's so, so delicious!
The menu
has standard authentic dishes but my favorite is the Chicken Chimichanga. It is enough food for two days but it's fanatic. It's
similar to a burrito but it's fried and topped with lettuce and sour
cream, then served with a side of homemade green sauce. I just can't
get enough of
Móle!
