One of my coworkers who's a quesadilla lover told me that the best food cart to get a quesadilla from is "the one with the guy" if you have the time to wait, but that "the one with the woman" is quicker if you're in a rush. In checking out the food carts today, I determined that "the one with the guy" is called Burrito Bliss, so based on my coworker's recommendation, I decided to try it.
Needless to say, I ordered a quesadilla ($6). I had mine with chicken and all of the fixings except for cabbage slaw. The quesadilla itself was filled with white cheese (queso fresca?), chicken, mushrooms, and caramelized onions, and was served with sour cream, hot sauce, pico de gallo, and guacamole on the side, as well as rice and beans. True to my coworker's description, the quesadilla itself was large and generously filled with ingredients, and had good flavor, esp. with the included toppings. It made for a lunch that was satisfying but didn't weigh too heavily on my stomach for the rest of the afternoon.
My loyal followers know that one of my favorite pastimes recently has been to complain about the cost of everything in CT, esp. compared to Pittsburgh, where I spent the past 5 years of my life. The quesadilla I received from this food cart represents the second time since I moved to CT a month ago that I feel that I received a good value for my $ (of which there's unfortunately much too little!). If you're a cash-strapped postdoc, med student, or staff member, be sure to check this cart out to get a good bang for your buck in terms of flavor and portion size! read more
