I probably go here at least 3 to 4 times a week. It's by my work so it's convenient and it's good! I found a few other places that have better tacos and a little cheaper but they got me sucked in from their drinks!

The one thing I love about them is that it's local, not a chain and everything is fresh. Also, they make their own fresh homemade juices! They usually have at least 3 different ones daily! Today they had a pineapple rosemary and a mixed berry with prickly pear. You can make them into a margarita also! Sangrias are delish here! Perfect on a nice sunny day! When we DO have nice weather here lol which is rare.




Here's the mixed berry with prickly pear margarita that I got with chili salt rim . you can't go wrong with it!!
It's funny when you're a regular or a neighbor down the street. They all remember and I've noticed my drinks has not been as sweet but more stiff lol. Which I'm not complaining about 
I think it's 8 or 9 dollars. But if you go during happy hour you save 1.50 off!



Homemade ground beef tamale stuffed with carrots and other veggies wrapped in a banana leaf. It's topped with salsa and crema.
Tamale a la carte is 4 dollars but for 2.75 more you can get a plate which has rice and beans!

Here's a small por que salad which I added shrimp to.
It comes with organic greens tossed in a spicy chile vinaigrette, topped with avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds, queso fresco, and pico de gallo.

You'll find a few food carts on 52nd. NE Sandy Blvd.
It's definitely growing here and it's convenient for me also. Its walking distance from where I am. So it's awesome to walk there on a nice day and eat there! They have a kids area an a lot of seating!

The picture above is from the food cart called Bangkok XPress. I got the number 5. The Phad SE Ew (wide rice noodles stir fried with eggs, broccoli, meat of your choice, and brown sweet sauce.


If you notice above is the picture of the menu and everything is pretty affordable. And it's a good amount they give you also! Definitely try it! They just take a little longer but it's worth it!


Alright... Until next time! Happy eatings and drinking!

LOVE,
