Piosca Tiaxtla

This is our first foray into the "Mexican" food of New York. I had two bistec tacos with rice and beans and J-Rad had a steak quesadilla with rice and beans. It is interesting that grilled steak is not called "carne asada" here, just "bistec". However, "carne enchilada" abounds many menus. We'll have to determine the difference in the future. Looks pretty good, eh?

Though the rice and beans were pretty great the rest of the meal was a splattering grease-bomb! POW! The meat was not crispy enough and though it had the correct minced onion/cilantro accompaniment it dripped trails of oil upon the slightest tooth pressure.

Also, the hot sauces seriously lacked heat. The green sauce had no heat; even the red sauce proved no challenge for my wimpy gringa tongue. Jared was even less impressed.

Overall, it could satisfy a Mexican food craving if desperate enough and with heavy drunk munchies. Bring your own jalapenos. Awarded: Two palm trees
