Tacuba proves my viewpoint that the only good Mexican in NYC (besides Los Tacos #1 in the Chelsea Market) tends to be these barely authentic, upscale and slightly pricey but fun eateries with expensive décor and delicious margs.
My teeny order of fish tacos might possibly fill up Karen Carpenter (is that too outdated of a reference? I guess if I have to ask….) but definitely plan on ordering something else if you have any semblance of an appetite.
That being said, they were delicious and packed with flavor!
My dining companion loved his Aguachile dish, another super flavorful concoction of lobster and shrimp in a sort of ceviche situation, but get yourself some guacamole or even eat dinner somewhere else if money is tight.
But if money is tight, maybe stay home? I’m not here to preach to you, so ignore me.
The margaritas are only $10 bucks but they’re easily sucked down, so you’ll be on your second before you realize you’re a broke-ass B who should have stayed home.
Sorry, I need to just stop with the judgments. I’ve eaten at plenty of restaurants when the bank account was low. But life is too short to eat at home like some kind of homeless person.
