Hilarious NY Times review of faux Tex-Mex spot

by Robin Garr » Tue May 19, 2015 4:32 pm

The world needs more restaurant reviews like this! Funny, snarky, but it avoids Eater-style snide through the simple use of competence.

That is a classic - right up there with the review they did of the Fiery Guy's place.

My favorite:

"Corn tortillas are used in the enchiladas de Tejas, and they really made me appreciate how good the other tortillas are, because these are as stiff as a new pair of jeans. They were filled with equally sturdy melted cheese and blanketed with a chile sauce that would make a wonderful way for Mexican cooking teachers to show students what happens when you try to toast dried chiles and end up burning them instead."

Love it. Glad the Times can exhibit a sense of humor.

Whoa! We had lunch there when we were in New York. I can't say I was terribly impressed but it was a tough table to get. Reservations might get a little easier now....
