by Ming-Jou C. on Mexican food in New York? Whatever. Coming from the land of taco trucks and just a few hours from TJ, I was skeptical. We were there for a group meal and the food came fast and furiously. The tableside guacamole was awesome, with an endless supply of chips. Drink orders were taken and filled quickly. They're known for having a variety of margartias and mojitos. Being the lightweight that I am, I opted for virgin mojitos, which most restaurants scoff at, but I had a mango and a raspberry ones, both virgin and both were awesome. I would've had more, but we ran out of time and I was sloshing around. I ordered the fish tacos which came three to a plate, with rice and beans and all the usual toppings of sour cream, lettuce, onions, etc. I was pretty impressed with the grilled fish and the quantity of food. I couldn't pass up on the fried ice cream. It wasn't what I expected. Fried ice cream usually is battered, then the whole scoop thrown in a flash fry. This was more like ice cream rolled in what tasted like fried Cinnamon Toast Crunch like pieces. I must've liked it because I finished the whole thing after having a whole bowl of guacamole and chips, 3 fish tacos, and 2 mojitos. My suspicions were alleviated and it confirms that anything with the words "fried" and "ice cream" is worth trying.
