LOCO BURRITO Brooklyn, New York

TRUCK ON TYKE - TACOS LOPEZ TACO TRUCK

Chorizo Burrito (The Anderson)

I was not surprised at all that this was an Outstanding Burrito being no stranger to Taco Trucks but once Mr. Kenneth A. highly recommended Tacos Lopez to me it gave me an extra Bread(th) of interest in That Truck which has been lurking around on That Corner.

A wide variety on a limited Menu. 

They also to my knowledge have Nachos, Tostadas & Quesadillas on offer.

One (1) Chorizo Burrito ($9.50) untouched.

 This was completely Delicious and done to perfection, as I often say "This can be equalled but not bettered"

Stuffed with Chorizo, Yellow Rice (with Corn and Peas) & Cilantro pillowed in a Flour Tortilla but I cannot find a trace of the mandatory Beans. This might be done on porpoise due to the Tanginess of the Chorizo, Either way this is not lacking from the loss of such ingredient.

Roast Pork (Al Pastor) & Chicken Tacos ($1.75 ea.) done proper and most Delicious.

Both Packed with Cilantro & Onions aside from the prime Ingredients. Further servings (post-maiden voyage) have come up minus the Pineapple making it less "El Pastor" than previously but I will keep on trying as the Pork was Fantastic not to mention the Pollo (Chicken).

Not to be Ghostly but the First time I tried "Al Pastor"/Roasted Pork there was Pineapple and subsequent tastings have been lacking the Tropical Fruit.

Flanked by Salsa Verde and Tomato Salsa.

2/27/17 - Regular Tostada ($3.50) - Lettuce, Tomatoes, Refried Beans, Crema & Cojita Cheese.

The jury is still out on this one, I ordered a Vegetarian Tostada Eight days later and got the same exact thing, Menu might be wrong, who knows, Delicious,... YES !!!

I can go Vegetarian or Regular, either way I win.

Campechanos Taco ($2.00) - Lots of Cilantro, Onions, Roast Pork, Chorizo and maybe some Chicken. Campechanos is roughly translated as "Folksy" and also "Two Meats or more".

Perhaps the best Taco on the Menu thus far.

3/7/17 - Spicy Meat (enchilada) Taco ($1.75) - Basically a Steak Taco with mild Spiciness, was it good,... OH YEAH.

I also ordered a Vegetable Tostada on this day and it was the same as the Regular Tostada.

An Enigma to be answered.

3/9/17 - Vegetarian (vegertarianos) Taco ($1.50) - Rice, Beans, Lettuce, Cojita Cheese & Crema. 

Carnitas Taco ($1.75) - Oh My Lord, Like Mexican Bacon.

On a Taco, Carnitas, Onion & Cilantro.

MEXICAN BACON !!!

Salty Beef (Cecina) Taco ($2.00) - Steak, Onion, Cilantro.

Very Indeed Salty Steak but not too much Salt. 

As much as I respect this truck they probably just added a few sprinkles of extra Salt to the mixture.

Pico De Gallo/side order (50 cents apiece) - Well waddya want for 50 cents. A bit Spicy for Picco De Gallo which I am usually accustomed to as a refreshing very mild and Crisp Veggie mix. 

No complaints here though.

The Tortilla Machine.

Tacos Lopez.

TACO BELL - You Want It, You Buy It

The Beefy Fritos Burrito ($3.39) is what I ordered but my receipt is marked Beef Burrito Supreme ($3.99) which comes to $4.34 after tax, maybe they got my order wrong but while still Delicious prices have skyrocketed at The Bell.

From what I recall Taco Bell only migrated to New York City sometime in the early 1990's (just after Crush Soda) but their influence was long and far and I was chomping at the bit (or in this case the Taco) to savor its offers and savor I did. Tales were told of the fifty cent Fast Food Taco and I wanted in.

Used to be (after the migration) that you could get a Crunchy Taco for about 79 cents and during sales campaigns two for a buck, then it went up to 99 cents, then $1.19 but now to my amazement a Crunchy Beef Taco is $2.79 !!!

I never took economics in school and I do understand the concept of inflation but is this not a bit inflated ?

My receipt showing the numbers.

Will I continue to Eat at The Bell ?

Hells Yeah !!!

After using my internet Taco Bell location finder I find myself excitedly poised for a 10 minute walk to the nearest location.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with the letter "T"

"It's coming right at us !!!"

E.T.A. - 4 seconds

The Prep Station

Where the magic happens folks.

Like Clint Eastwood in "The Unforgiven" I quietly sat and enjoyed my Burrito wondering where the "Frito's" were at all, another hypothesis confirming that the counter person probably got my order wrong.

Afterwards a crowd of fans awaited me outside of Madison Square Garden.

Taco Bell, prices or not.

I will always Love You.

TACO BELL - IF THE MANHOLE COVERS WERE BURRITOS THE SEWERS WOULD BE PARADISE

It has come to pass that I shall pontificate about my Favorite Fast Food Joint. Well, It Is Taco Bell. 

OH what Beaniness and Cheesiness and Beefiness is on offer (Steak, Chicken and Veggie too of course) there is most certainly an array for the palate to appreciate in its wonderment. What Taco Bell has to offer is not what the million Burger joints do supply (we aint got no burgers, we are Taco Bell) mainly speaking it is Tex-Mex goodness fast food style and I am not kidding.

Take a gander at the Delights below.

Double Decker Taco - Its Tacolicious.

Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito - I think its purring.

Black Bean Burrito - Could only be improved if it came with red sauce.

Grilled Stuft Nacho - My friend really got a "load" out of this but I remain impartial to the Panini style Toasted Tortilla which has been a Taco Bell staple for about a decade now.

Ad Campaign.

Beef Soft Taco - How Sweet It Is, Quite Delectable.

Chicken Gordita - God created the Gordita.

Nachos Supreme - The King of the Castle

7/22/15

The Meximelt - Melts in your mouth (with Bell Picco De Gallo).

Beef Gordita Supreme - Christina's Favorite.

Steak Gordita (no Sour Cream) - Christina's choice.

Bacon Club Chalupa - It's Fried but not inside.

Beef Burrito Supreme - Taco Bell's staple of Ecstasy.

The Box Rocks.

Christina's Steak Gordita

Smothered Burrito - Filled with Beef and Rice and Smothered outside with Cheese, Hot Sauce & Sour Cream. Quite Formidable but heavy on the Bready Tortilla shell.

9/9/15 - FIERY Ghost Pepper Loaded Griller - Hottest thing I ever had from Taco Bell, Did I Live ? most certainly, just a mild scratch if even a tad on the Scoville units barometer.

NOT ONLY BAGELS - Mexican Food - Brooklyn, New York

BURRITO ($6.00) - Really Good, Maybe Too Much Chicken which is never a complaint and there is Tomato which I somehow missed (see details below). A very simple Burrito made in an authentic place, the Avocado is really kicking it up in a great way. Rice is Perfect. No Hot Sauce and a very Mild Burrito but this can be easily remedied, Salsa should have been offered on the side but was not, barely a complaint, I am sure I could have asked. I might ask for more Beans but the Avocado makes up for it, good Flour Tortilla as well and wrapped perfectly, served in wax paper style where they cut it in half in the paper but done just right.

It was only several weeks ago that I saw my local Bagel store were expanding to make Burritos and other prepared foods now, up until then it was Taco's and Torta's. The sight lines to the Grill are nigh impossible but I found a spot (feeling a bit of an untrusting jerk) and watched as she did everything right, Chicken Grilling, Tortilla heating, then a slathering of something, was it Guacamole ? (it was Refried Beans), Lettuce on top, Spanish Rice on top, Avocado on top, Chicken on top and expertly wrapped as a Burrito but where was the Tomato ?, well that got by me because there is Tomato, I was also asked if I wanted Sour Cream and of course I gave a resounding YES.

ENCHILADA & TACOS - These were Joe's so I can't say first hand but they got no complaints from him and he is more a Gourmand than I am, they certainly look fantastic.

STEAK QUESADILLA - Nothing wrong with this at all but I got confused with a Chimichanga which I will assume they don't make since I believe there is no Deep Fryer on premises. Not my favorite of Mexican dishes but these were completely Delicious.

11/9/14 - CHICKEN TOSTADA ($2.75) - And Packed with White Meat Pollo, Diced Tomatoes & Lettuce also garnished with Sour Cream and the Smoky Hot Sauce.
