Oh, and tacos al pastor, in the style of a Mexico City taqueria. I know it's just a matter of time, once all the many immigrants have saved enough to open their own restaurants and blow everyone's minds. They need to get to a point where they aren't trying to please all the immigrants by going after lowest common denominator dishes (El Rey) but can specialize and focus on the dishes from their specific states/regions. That will be so exciting.<br><br>OK, wow, that was a long thought. Anyway, thanks for reviewing the place!

Your points are valid and it would be interesting to experience more indigenous Latin foods. We'll see what surfaces - maybe some are on the way.Foodistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927382832751244890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961500355763112066.post-20230515722357407892010-10-25T14:38:56.376-04:002010-10-25T14:38:56.376-04:00I have to disagree with the thejoyofvictory.com. ...I have to disagree with the thejoyofvictory.com. While this place is obviously not serving authentic mexican food, it is similarly not serving authentic Tex-Mex either. I don't think they're trying for either. I think they're pretty clear in their ambition to serve food inspired by mexican and tex-mex flavors married with BBQ.<br><br>Also, D.F. style al pastor tacos are quite easy to find in Astoria. El Athens and Tacos Mexico both serve them off a rotating spit.Porkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16254743848717125218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961500355763112066.post-7209722221234621442010-10-25T15:12:39.810-04:002010-10-25T15:12:39.810-04:00Thanks Pork - great feedback!Thanks Pork - great feedback!Foodistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927382832751244890noreply@blogger.com
