Tacos
Tacos are native to Mexican cuisine. But it feels right at home in the United States, in particular, New York City. In fact, you can find some of the best Mexican fare in Queens and Brooklyn.
It seems logical for the taco to appeal to New Yorkers. To begin with, it is delicious. Its ratio of meat to vegetables is proportional. The convenient packaging gets an honorable mention too. In a city where people are always on the go, a snack you can eat while walking is a godsend. But you can enjoy your taco while seated in a restaurant also. New York City offers a wide variety of tacos. So take your pick, starting with a corn or wheat tortilla. Your choices of fillings include beef or chicken or pork with vegetables and cheese. Likewise, what type of garnish you wish to add, salsa or chilli peppers? Enjoy crafting your taco. |
