There is a certain phenomenon that I'm convinced only exists in NYC, which is the existence of…read moreTex-Mex / Mexican themed takeout spots run by Chinese folks (#1). Folks from diasporas where Mexican communities run deep and authentic Mexican food is abundant will rightfully see these places as an abomination. If anything, they're a significant contributors to the stigma that NYC is incapable of producing quality Mexican food, let alone Tex-Mex. Taco Today most definitely belongs in this group. Their setup is like many others, almost as if American-Chinese takeout was morphed into faux-Mexican fare and sold for similar prices. The food is salty, low quality, and not even remotely close to the real thing. Yet, when compared to its similarly themed restaurant brethren, it stands out for its abundance, relative affordability, and solid variety. Hard shell tacos are a thing. So is ground beef that strangely is reminiscent of Taco Bell. Portions of the menu are dedicated to Mexican rice toppings, burritos, and quesadillas. Even the fajitas are packed with substantials portions of protein. Minus tacos (#3), most everything is affordable and under $10. Delivery is quick and service is not the warmest, but it's most definitely efficient. There are only a handful of tables for dine-in, so it's best to make this a takeout experience. Anyone who lives in Sunnyside, will find their delivery to be wonderfully quick. Lastly, no need to order anything in Spanish. ___________ (#1) Fukinese fam, unite.

It's been a many moons since I had a proper "Reina Pepia'" and I certainly don't remember it the way they serve it at Arepas Burger. Their is not bad... but, I'd like the chicken in it to have more presence. Their tequeños are alright (obviously, they'd be a infinitely better when they are piping hot), their Chicha was definitely a delightful treat... but, not at $9/cup. The burgers are good, but, $16 (just a burger, not a meal) is getting close to midtown prices. Their food is definitely pretty good and the prices are lower at the store, but, we will definitely not be ordering again any time soon (maybe for pick up if we happen to be in their neck of the woods).

If you were to say I only came around this particular spot because of the current events going on…read morein Venezuela, you might be right. I've visited many Latin American restaurants but I don't think I've checked the box next to Venezuela so this would be a first time entry for me. Going inside the area, it's relatively small but since I was the only customer at the time, it was spacious. The waitress Paula was a sweetheart and served me well as I was figuring what to take on in this restaurant. I went for the standard Arepa Burger, fries and for dessert, I did want the brownie with ice cream but they didn't have that available so I settled for churros with nutella. The wait wasn't too long, very much short of 8 minutes when everything was set. The Arepa burger came loaded with Shredded beef & Chicken, black beans, Shredded white cheese & maduros. For what it's worth, you'll get your fill from this makeshift burger, it was so filling. The fries were done with excellent detail, firm crisp texture along with taste and goes pretty well with the Ketchup & Mayo mixture the place had with one of their condiment bottles. When it came time to take on the churros, I immediately got thrown off because they're not the churros I'm normally used to. Instead what was smothered with the nutella happened to be cheese sticks and at first I thought it was a mistake but seeing pictures on here, that's basically what it is. I do love cheese sticks and I do love nutella, but in my opinion they're not meant to be combined so I had to forgo it. Everything else was top notch. The food was very decent and the service was proper so everything I got was $23 and I threw in a $7 tip to round it off to $30 total for the meal. They got many different variants of Arepa sandwiches so there is certainly revisit value in this place and I can go for that.

I have recently developed a bit of an obsession with these tacos. I have been here a handful of…read moretimes already, and my order is always the same: one chicken taco and two beef. What stands out is how fresh and authentic everything tastes. This food truck tends to draw a late-night crowd. Usually, they are pretty quick and the tacos are delicious. One thing to note is that there is no seating available, so it's a strictly a grab-and go spot.

I usually pass by this truck every time I have a dermatology appointment, but one day I decided to…read moregive it a try. It was a Tuesday and Election Day. First of all, everything here is $13, except for shrimp meals, which are around $14. If you're paying with Apple Pay or another app, there's an additional dollar fee, so cash is better. There's another food truck between Sumpter Pl and Broadway, outside Woodhull Hospital and near Starbucks and Chipotle. The prices are slightly different, with most menu items ranging from $11 to $12, so I assume each operator adjusts for competition. The demographic at my location is primarily African American, but this part of Bushwick tends to be more diverse, with many families, children, and a notable Hispanic presence. For what you're getting, it's really good. My birria tacos were loaded with flavor from the well-seasoned beef, which has a great burst of juicy meat and cheese that makes the soft taco even more tender and chewy. The vegetables and the mozzarella added moisture to the taco, and the birria sauce was savory and plentiful--I had extra and couldn't resist drinking it like soup. You'll definitely need a drink to refresh your palate afterward. The smell of onions and peppers will linger on your hands, face, breath, and clothes. No doubt they are using fresh ingredients, but beware, you will need a peppermint. The truck is parked near the Myrtle Ave. Checkers, Dunkin' Donuts, and Popeyes, making it easy for Brooklynites to spot or for people who know the area to stumble upon. However, because it's on Myrtle Ave., locals know this isn't the most hygienic or scenic spot, even by Brooklyn standards. Myrtle Ave. is Brooklyn's very own 125th St., if that makes sense. The loud noises from traffic, blaring speakers, or a homeless person claiming this block as theirs, unfortunately, take away from the pleasant vibe of a humble taco stand. The operator of the truck was so nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend people try this truck, but honestly, it might be too good for this rough area.

I remember everything being authentic and really tasty but they may have gone down in quality a bit. We ordered a bunch of items and some were okay some were a bit disappointing. The Al pastor picaditas were actually really tasty but it was delivered I a bit of a mess, so I had to reconstruct them. The pineapple and pork had good flavor though. The quesadilla was kind of a mess and weirdly put together with lettuce. The flavor (chicken tinga) was OKAY. The birria tacos were the most disappointing. Although good by taco standards, birrias are everywhere at this point and they do not compete with the other neighborhood favorites. All in all, given the great Mexican options in the neighborhood, they're on the lower half.

I've been to the Bayside location a few years ago where I had birria for the 1st time. Noticed this location recently. Haven't been able to get Birria out of my mind since I had Birria LES a few weeks ago. We were supposed to go to Flaming Grill, but I noticed this is across the street, so we ended up here 1st since the Birria cravings got me. This is pretty good but, not as good as Birria LES. The consome here is watery. Also, the beef isn't as flavorful as Birria LES. I like how they give pickled onions here tho.
