Have a Fiesta at Tacombi

Tacombi makes me feel like I have stepped back in time. When I was there I felt like I was living inside the movie Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and it was awesome.

Tacombi serves up traditional Mexican breakfast, lunch and dinner. The portions are small but that's alright with me because then I get to try more things! Not only do they have your staple Mexican food choices like tacos, entradas and quesadillas, but they also serve these delicious fresh fruit drinks like Horchata (Mexican drink made of rice and cinnamon), Auga De Sandia (Watermelon juice) and Agua De Jamaica (Mexican Hibiscus Tea). To see the full menu click here.

The restaurant it self is cozy and the front is wide open so passerby's can feel welcome to join in. With folding tables and chairs, the air-condition-free atmosphere just makes sense. In the center of the restaurant sits a vintage trailer where the food orders come out of. The music is bumping and you can tell that everyone is having a great time at this Mexican escape.

What are you waiting for? Come join the fiesta already! Tacombi is located at 267 Elizabeth Street in New York, New York. For more information visit their website here.

Tacos with Panavahn

 Panavahn is a name you are going to be hearing about quite frequently. This girl has now introduced me to four of my new foodie favorites and I cannot thank her enough!  

El Tenampa is the focus of today's discussion. It's half grocery store, half Mexican restaurant and all delicious. El Tenampa is family owned and operated and makes authentic tacos, burritos, tortas, soups and rice and beans. They also have an awesome salsa bar with homemade guacamole. Plus while you are enjoying the fantastic food, you can watch Spanish Soap Opera's on the main TV's in the restaurant.

The food is super cheap and super tasty. One taco is $1.75- you just can't beat it! It's real authentic Mexican food so if Chipotle is what you call Mexican, you'll be in for a rude awakening when you visit El Tenampa.

El Tenampa is located at 706 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY and the party's in the back!

Villa Pancho Taqueria

 Villa Pancho Taqueria says they have "No pretensions of being best anything. Just really damn good food," and they aren't kidding. If you don't know by now Mexican is my favorite food. I could eat it everyday and never get sick of it. That's why when I discovered Villa Pancho Taqueria I was tickled pink.

Villa Pancho Taqueria is a small Mexican food joint with out-of-this-world dishes. They have over ten different burritos so there are options galore. They also make typical Mexican dishes like tacos, quesadillas and nachos. Check out the full menu here. They prepare whatever you like in quick fashion, you pay and then feast!

Regular Nachos. Cheesy goodness!

Rob and Tessa's Tacos

     I recently took an adventure to Queens to visit my new friend Tessa. She was hosting a house warming part at her new pad and the apartment was amazing! It is one of the largest apartments I have ever seen in NYC but, the food was even better! I was having such a great time that I forgot to snap photos of most of the food but I really wish I would have because the display of fantastic food looked like it was straight out of a magazine. Snaps for Tessa!

     Tacos were the main event on the menu and these tacos were like nothing I have ever experienced. These tacos took me to a new level of Mexican and I couldn't stop raving about them after my first bite. The recipe was created by Tessa's boyfriend Rob, who owns multiple burrito shops in PA called Roburritos, and they were bursting with flavor. The ingredients are as follows:

•  braised spring chicken, shredded
•  black butter grilled green beans
•  cojito cheese
•  pico
•  roasted garlic
•  jalapeno salsa verde
•  blue corn tortilla  

All of these flavors together were fantastic and I cannot wait to eat this again! Now you have the ingredients so make it at home and let me know what you think.
