Lovely new spot in the historic waterfront area of Kingston, NY. They’d planned to open last spring but COVID delayed their launch until summer; they’re preparing delicious burritos, tacos, tortas, quesadillas, vampiros, rice bowls and elote street corn. Having just read about the ‘birria boom’ in the NY Times earlier this month, I was thrilled to try their birria quesatacos (see their IG post below) - absolutely delicious with a very tasty broth to dip with & drink.

The owner also knows his way around some excellent mezcal from Oaxaca in Mexico (see their IG post below), and offers flights to sip with the traditional orange slice and Tajin chile & lime seasoning... he also makes a mean house margarita as well.

It came out piping hot and very delicious. I was not a fan of the rice and beans as the rice in my opinion was overcooked. I also tried the surf and turf burrito and was not a fan of it. The other two in my group decided to have a chicken quesadilla which they reported was very delicious. I would return to the spot to maybe have drinks out on their patio area, but it was raining out when I went so obviously not going to sit outside and...
