TACO TO ME BABY

So I know that this post may be a bit confusing because this is a taco account, right? Well to that I say that we do not discriminate. When I eat something delicious, I will share it with you all no matter what it is. That being said, today I am going to let you…

Similarly to just about everyone right now, I am currently trying to adapt to this quarantine-lifestyle. I think that one of the major differences for me has been the food that I have been making. I obviously want to leave my house as little as possible so when I have gone to the grocery store,…

On a slightly more positive note, Alexis and I also decided to order the Roasted Pork and Garlic Mojo Tostones Relleno while at El Sombrero, and I have to say that these were absolutely amazing. It was carnitas style pork, packed with flavor, and spices, topped with some onions and salsa, stuffed in tostones rellenos…

The other day I had the pleasure of trying a pan dulce from Vallecito in Jackson Heights. It was described to me as a sweet empanada, and I must say, it did not disappoint. I have such a sweet tooth so whenever someone offers me sweets I am happy, but this was especially good. The…

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Julia Alvarez. I am currently interning at a publishing company and she is releasing a book this Spring called AFTERLIFE. Since she is such an amazing author, a bunch of bookstores pre-ordered signed copies, which meant that last Tuesday she spent the day in office signing…
