Tacos y Burritos
Why is it that New Yorkers find it no problem paying $8 for a taco, and $12 for a burrito? Also how is it even considered mexican food when they don't use lime or cilantro?
The taquerias in New York are typically run by Asian families, the carne asada and the grilled pollo are remarkable, they usually make their own flour tortillas, which are deelish, but the only corn tortillas they use are those hard crunchy ones similar to those from taco bell.
I went to Burriotville a few weeks back with my boyfriend, I ordered a carne asada taco, the man said, "excuse me?" I said may I please have a "carne asada taco?" He said, "we do not have that ma'am, please order off of the menu" I said "you don't have grilled steak?" he said, "which taco off of the menu do you want, and by the way carne asada is chicken" at which point I turned around and walked out there is no way I'm ordering a steak taco from a mexican restaurant that thinks carne asada is chicken.
huh?
