Taco Tuesday: La Taqueria

By kristen | Published: April 6, 2010
I seldom write as unenthusiastically about tacos as I do this very moment. So why bother, you ask? Consider it a public service, an effort in preventing fellow taco lovers from ever sampling the entirely uninspiring tacos at La Taqueria in Park Slope. I was persuaded to dine here by a friend and fellow Californian, [...]

This place is a Mexican joint heavily lauded by our dear friend [...]

By kristen | Published: February 23, 2010
According to good ol’ Miriam-Webster, something piquant is “agreeably stimulating to the palate; especially spicy.” If that’s the case, Piquant, a newish upscale southwestern spot on Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Heights, is certainly aptly named. Last night, six of us ventured to Piquant for a more official birthday dinner than Brian and I’s Sunday night Mexican feast [...]

Brooklyn’s Best Tacos: California Approved

By kristen | Published: February 22, 2010
For those of you who don’t already know this about me, I am Taco obsessed. Two-and-a-half years ago when I left my middle-of-nowhere Spanish Harlem apartment for the greener pastures of Brooklyn, I cringed at the thought of losing the best thing that had ever happened to my taste buds this side of the Sierra Nevadas.
