Calexico + Momofuku Milk Bar

Last month I went to the new Calexico location that opened in the Lower East Side. 

I went expecting the food to be slamming. Unfortunately only the nachos meet my expectations.

Roasted corn, guacamole, black beans, cheese sauce, pico de gallo, jalapenos, sour cream...

They were literally the best nachos I have ever had.

I ordered a baja fish taco and a chicken taco. Both were a thumbs down.

PB & I walked around LES. I wanted dessert so we headed to the East Village.

We ended up at Milk Bar.

I got cereal milk soft serve! So good, it literally tasted like I was eating frozen milk that had corn flakes soaking in it.

Tacombi

I've been meaning to go to Tacombi for the longest time. Two weeks ago on a rainy afternoon, I met up with one of my good friends for tacos.

The atmosphere is awesome! Food is served from a vintage Volkswagen van.

It really feels like a beach-side eatery in Mexico.

Started off with some good ol' chips and guac.

Bohemia beer is one of the best Mexican beers I've had.

Esquites is a traditional Mexican snack. Roasted corn, queso fresco, lime and chipotle mayo in a cup..Delish!

My favorite taco of the three I ordered was the crispy fish taco with red cabbage and chipotle mayo.

So many sauces. The 3rd bottle from the left was hibiscus chipotle. Yummy, sweet and tangy!

The corn and poblano pepper taco was good. The veggie and egg taco was my least favorite. 

Tacos range from $3-5. They serve you two tortillas with each taco so you can fit extra filling on the second one. Bang for your buck.

All in all I give Tacombi a 4.5 out of 5! Great atmosphere, good food, spacious, and super decent pricing.

Lately

Underwhelming Taqueria

This past weekend I went to Taqueria LES. It's a hole in the wall with pretty cool decor. 

The food was cheap and decent. Positively NOT the best Mexican food I've had and I definitely wouldn't go back.

My friend Gabriella ordered the enchiladas. They were authentic tasting but the chicken was dry.

Paula and I ordered the fish tacos. They were alright. No real complaints. But I bet I could have made a more delicious fish taco.

I ordered potato flautas as well. Those were yum. It was the only thing I was really pleased with.

All in all I give Taqueria LES a 5 out of 10. It was super noisy, overcrowded, and the food was underwhelming.

For dessert we went to one of my favorite place, Little Cupcake Bakeshop. 

That heavenly thing up there is pecan caramel cheesecake. It was so dense and delicious.
