Dumplings are perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Chicken salad is also very tasty and love the umami from sesame oil. The fries are crispy and well-seasoned. My least favorite would be fried chicken because they are a little too salty for me. But they are so crispy and juicy as well. Highly recommended!

We've been testing out food options in the surrounding area, and Nacho Macho has emerged as my favorite (for convenience, speed, flavor, and affordability). Now, the space isn't much to speak of. It's narrow, with only a couple places to sit. But the dudes who work there are efficient, nice, and can put together an order of food for 6+ dudes in about 15 minutes (double-check they gave you some salsa and utensils if you need them though). I've tried a couple of the options, but the al pastor burrito, with a few things added (guac, sour cream, jalapenos, etc.) is a gutbomb of deliciousness that I am never sad about eating. You do you, but I'm getting another one in a couple days.

This last time I got the tlacoyos, which come with two to an order: I got one with tinga and the other al pastor. The tinga was sublime, some of the best tinga I've ever had: tangy and spicy though not overwhelmingly so. They gave me some free salsa verde on the side as well and it was a refreshing, mild salsa. I'm eager to go back and try more. Their menu stands out for not being just limited to tacos: they have sopes, gorditas, tortas, nachos, and more. I haven't taken advantage of it yet but they do free delivery too.

None of the Americanized Mexican Trucks and Restaurants have that specific cut of meat and frankly, it's my favorite by far so when I saw it on the menu in this truck as I was passing by, I had to give it a shot. It's honestly really easy to tell whether or not the tongue is done well because it's either tender and delicious with a slight bounce, or it's excessively chewy and bland, and I'm glad to say that this is the former. Everything else is just baseline good quality, from the wrap to the rice and beans and all the fixings inside as well. While definitely not the biggest burrito I've ever had, it's a pretty good size overall so I can't really complain.

There's a chance I've gaslit myself because I'm pretty sure the taco truck outside/near Union Hall…read moreused to be a different one. But anyway, it's now Morelos (one of my favorite spots from Sunset Park). My friend and I were turned away from late night pizza, so this was our consolation prize. Scratch that, this should've been the first place prize. Like so many taco places in NYC, they've leaned into making birria tacos. We asked if they were any good, and they were wishy-washy about it, so we didn't order them. Got some al pastor and cochinita pibil tacos instead. While we were waiting for them, the guy we spoke to actually gave us a sample of the birria. I know it was the end of the night, but super nice of him! Also... he was right. Don't get them. The al pastor and cochinita pibil ones, however, were pretty solid. Never had cochinita pibil before, but it might be my new favorite. Will definitely be back on another one of my drunken escapade nights!

Some have food (like Alchemy), some don't (like Uncle Barry's). If you're at one of the latter, the best thing you can do for yourself is to stumble out and get something to eat at the Los Carnales taco truck parked here every day, and late into the night. In my experience, it's staffed by a lovely lady who doesn't speak much English (one time I was with a buddy who is fluent in Spanish, and she asked him to hop on her phone and give someone directions to the truck in English). However, she doesn't need to speak much English to understand my poorly accented, "Carne asada quesadilla, por favor." Or, "carnitas burrito por favor." Or, "tacos de pastor, por favor." I always add the "por favor" because my mother raised me right, unlike you heathens. They also have huaraches and cemitas and tortas and tostadas and camarones and pescado and cochinita pibil and birria, but I haven't tried much beyond what I already mentioned. What I have tried has been fresh and delicious, served in generous portions that soak up all the alcohol I've consumed, and the nice lady always give me a big smile when I give her a good tip. A win all around.

Since I ordered delivery, I can't speak to the customer service or the atmosphere in the restaurant, but based on the food alone, I'd definitely order from here again.

I am thrilled to know I now have a convenient and affordable option. I went with the classic Chicken over Rice with white and green sauce.

Plus, who doesn't love a little extra fries on top?! A well-packed platter for a total of $10.89. Can't wait to try the chicken/lamb combo next!
