Our La Fiesta Feast!
With a hankering for tacos and no desire to go too far from home, we ordered tacos and a mammoth burrito from La Fiesta, the taqueria Elizabeth found in Washington Heights a few weeks back. At $2 per taco, I decided to taste the rainbow of tacos and get six of ‘em: steak, pork, chicken, spicy pork, al pastor and chorizo. Now, I’m not such a savage that I’d eat all six at once, but after downing the steak, spicy pork and chicken tacos, I damn near grabbed the other three.
The tacos at La Fiesta are exquisitely tasty, spiced wonderfully and very similar to the ones at Tehuitzingo Deli Grocery down in Hell’s Kitchen…though La Fiesta’s tacos come topped with a bit more onion and cilantro than at TDG. Still, they’re not just similar in terms of the rockin’ flavors–these tacos are a lil’ small. It’s easy and affordable to down three or four of these in a snap.
La Fiesta has officially become my go-to taco place when I’m at home. Hell yeah! More photos on Flickr.

I haven’t checked back here in a while, and I’d forgotten how hungry this blog makes me. A $2 per taco medley sounds boss, indeed.
Also, I recently saw an add for a “Duck Taco” special at an eatery which advertises in the free newspapers around camps. Any experience with such creations? I’m going to try it one of these days

Mmmmm! Duck taco?! Lemme know how it is. Duck’s so greasy and fatty, but so delicious. I’m quite curious!
