tacos
pinche is on my list. that reminds me - we had such good fish tacos at la superior in wmsburg the other week. they weren't baja style, but they were so tasty and very simple. just grilled fish with a pickled pepper relish. i think the latter ingredient is a secret weapon.

When I was in NYC recently, I ate in a restaurant that struck me as the fanciest place I'd ever eaten in. It was kinda weird. I didn't think the food was all that great, though.

It was called Josephina's.
Is there still a Teresa's on Tompkins Square? (and is that the same people?)

The fried catfish sandwich I had at the Smoke Joint was unremarkable, but the cole slaw, which I usually avoid, was very good.
― C0L1N B..., Monday, 6 October 2008 01:22 (fifteen years ago) link
was just looking at pinche's site - those fish tacos sound great!!

i heard something about a hot dog with slaw on top. never thought to do this, but it seems like a great idea!
i think i could talk food all day long.

those tacos make me dream of the fish taco i had at a roadside stand in maui. if they are 1/2 as good i will be very excited!

― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link
go *to
lol well tbh i generally get pequena for lunch when i'm at work :)
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 01:43 (fifteen years ago) link
g00blar - i think the teresa's are connected, or were, and the one on 1st ave closed a little while ago.

i ate at paul's today. the number of bad reviews of paul's on yelp really threw me. i love paul's. today i had the 2nd avenue burger, with cheese, ham, grilled tomato and grilled onions.always get the "cajun" fries.
― ian, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:07 (fifteen years ago) link
just the idea of cajun fries is too much for me to handle
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:08 (fifteen years ago) link
it's nothing special. just like.. fries with spices on them. they're just better than the steak fries, which are kind of bland and mushy usually.
― ian, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:15 (fifteen years ago) link
you know, cajun anything and i'm there.
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:17 (fifteen years ago) link
cajun poodle.

can someone tell me where to get a blackened swordfish pronto?
lol
i kind of don't want to go to this teresa's place because of the horrible misspelling. i know this is irrational.
i had a burger at paul's once. it was nothing spectacular.
surm, i don't know about blackened but i do know a recipe for this great cream sauce with riesling and capers that will make you melt.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:19 (fifteen years ago) link
ok that sounds weird.
sounds grrrr8 to me. i would love that recipe.
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link
haha now i have to find it...
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:25 (fifteen years ago) link
loll well take your time. ugh sounds so good tho.

pinche's fish tacos are really good but the secret weapon is the carnitas!! so delicious, whatever the hell they braise the pork in is magical.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:29 (fifteen years ago) link
ok i have to go to this place soon.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:30 (fifteen years ago) link
i wish time out's offices would move back to soho instead of the wasteland they currently occupy by the javitz center so i could eat delicious tacos on a more regular basis.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:32 (fifteen years ago) link
i have no lunch options. there is a caf in my building, but it is the size of my bedroom so not very many options. i will turn into a salad soon. maybe that is a good thing, though.

Anthos - not cheap, but good
NYT wrote about Pinche's a week ago so it's kinda over now, amirite?

^^ this is where i got my mac n cheese. also had a delicious mexican-style corn on the cob. not too $$$ or tourist-y for being where it is either.
― max, Monday, 6 October 2008 03:24 (fifteen years ago) link
also 3) recommendations for vietnamese

i need lunch around lincoln center. i think that is a lost cause, though.
midtown is generally a lost cause
― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Monday, 6 October 2008 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah. that area is not even really midtown though. i mean, sort of. but really more upper west side-y. it's kind of horrible. just overpriced sit down places or really crap delis.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link
sometimes i walk down to col. circle for whole foods.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i used to just do deli sammiches around there. there's a grays papaya nearish!
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
i found a couple of good delis wth those salad bar things
Yeah, I was gonna say the Whole Foods is the only place I tend to get lunch in that general vicinity. Best deal around there.

maybe dressler? gotham bar & grill?
this is my favorite but it's gotten kind of expensive, they keep raising priceshttp://www.alfanoose.com/
if anyone knows good CHEAP places down there I'd like to know
used to go to this one mexican food cart all the time until one time my burrito contained a piece of the cart :/
