Gosh Darn Zaragoza

OK, Dave. I really wanted to write about the Dodgers. its a special time for them and the people deserve it. but i just can't compete with your knowledge. So i'm gonna write about some tacos. Close enough, no?

Zaragoza. It's a city in Spain and a shitty Mexican deli in the East Village. I don't know which serves better tacos, but I'm gonna guess the deli since Spain doesn't really do tacos. So fuck Spain. (love ur art and ur women, but sry, this time.)

This is pretty much the only place in NYC that I will watch a dude zap my food in a microwave and not give a shit. Try that at an authentic ramen joint or a burger joint and i will seriously leave and throw feces at you. It's happened before.

But Zaragoza. this little gem on Ave. A and 13 St. This place serves GOAT tacos. for real yo. El Cabrito in Acapulco has a flaming goat on a spit in the lobby, and that shits good too. But Zaragoza is just like eat my goat tacos. They're seriously delicious. Ask Jonny.

They also have carne asada and chicken and, if you're smart you'll order the pork (maybe that's all you'll order, if you're smart), and you can sit back with a 24 oz. Dos Equis, wait for the cashier/waiter to forget your rice and beans, and just love that you're not spending $60 at Mercadito across the street. This place will fill you up and if you're not a pussy you won't shit yourself.

This place really is good. And it's a mexican market. If I knew how to cook the real authentic shit like goat goat goat and chile relleno (filled with squid), i would prob buy my spices here. But I'm white as shit and i like cooking pasta and ramen and quesadillas. So i'll just come here for the tacos when i feel a lil crazy. I very often do.

  2. you forgot to mention the fuzzy 13 inch tv and the colorful Aztec mural on the wall that serves as an homage to warriors. Amazing. If you're lucky enough to catch a mexico soccer game there, you will not be disappointed. Or sober. Also, they rarely have shredded beef, but when they do, don't sleep on that ish. It will give you a heart attack in a good way.
