Tehuitzingo Deli
People in the know go all nuts for Tehuitzingo Deli. I think it's because the bulk of Manhattan is taco deprived. Don't get me wrong, they churn out an authentic item (I included them in a real vs. fake article I recently wrote) but it's the sort of place that humorless foodies might bandy about as a badge of honor.
Behold tacos filled with barbacoa, carnitas and cecina. They all taste distinct, but it's hard to discern which is which from this pic.
I went to the Belle and Sebastian show with Heather, who had a friend (that I won't link to because it's more fun to blog behind backs) that wanted to grab a bite before the concert. He had mentioned Tehuitzingo to her, but I had already put in a convincing vote for Olive Garden. This was majorly vetoed by this friend of a friend. It was ok, I wrangled two souls into going to The OG.
It was funny because after the show, my pal tracked down this guy and introduced us and mentioned that we both did food blogs like that would be a bond. But it never is. That's why I don't hang out with any food freaks (most of my friends are vegetarian or meat and potatoes). If someone can't eat at Tehuitzingo and Olive Garden in the same week, then it's just not going to work. God created tripe tacos and neverending pasta bowls to both be enjoyed.

i stumbled across this looking at taco photos on flickr. and lo and behold is a story involving me.
neverending pasta probably woulda worked out better, as i had an upset stomach from the non-chain japanese food i had that night (not food poisoning, just too much fatty stuff on a hungover stomach) and was somewhat miserable during and after the show.
Ha, I can’t get away with typing anything publicly anymore. The internet is all inbred.
I was super sick that night (not food or alcohol related) and I don’t think my OG alfredo pizza helped one bit.
