David,
Thanks for the intel! That’s good to know. I hate to say that although these tacos are authentic and flavorful, I’m not sure they’re worth Fed Ex-ing (joke or not). So can you say “Pinches” in front of any noun and have it mean “F#@en?” Where do you live?

Those tacos look pretty darn good… but have you ever wondered what the name of the place means? Maybe I could help. In every day English I would normally say to my friends, hey guys lets eat some good, awsome, tasty, delicious or maybe even freakin tacos. But the Mexican in me would say it in street slang, in Spanish of course; Cabrones vamos a comernos unos “Pinches Tacos!” As you guessed it or maybe not, Pinche means “F#@en.” When the word Pinche is used it can be used to describe when something is good or bad, in this case I hope its good. Now can someone FedEx some of these tacos to me?

These were the best tacos I’ve had in NY so far, but that’s not saying too much since the tacos I’ve had before Pinche were pretty darn bad, and I’ve tried the places many have raved about. But since this place originated in Tijuana, I thought I’d give it a shot. They were ok. I tried the fish and al pastor. The fish was much better than the al pastor. Here were my main problems with their tacos:
- too small — use bigger tortillas and fill em up!
- the fish was warm but the pork was not — the meat must have been prepared hours before
- the guac was very watery — did they even use real avocados?

[...] meal my heart was begging for something unfried at lunch the next day. I hadn’t eaten at Pinche Taqueria’s second NYC outpost on Lafayette and Bleecker, so I decided to stop in for a Taco Salad, and of [...]

Bill,
Disappointing about Pinche’s tacos but as far as the nachos go, I find the problem of topping distribution on about 95 percent of nachos encountered at all restaurants. it’s such a common problem you think there would be greater efforts made to prevent it but it’s gotta be much cheaper to just top it off with the topping. Not that I agree with the move, but I’d have to see a serious amount of cheese to be sufficiently pleased with a big order of nachos.

Here’s a question, for the same price, would you rather have a thin layer of chips, each covered in a lot of topping or a heaping pile of chips with toppings only on top?

NYCFG,

I’ve made two trips there in the past couple of months. Mixed bag for me. I had the nachos on the 1st visit. Great flavors and I think the chips mat have been homemade. The only problem for me is tha all of the toppings were only on top. I wish the refried beans, cheese, guac and soue cream had been mixed in more and I wished that the jalapenos had been cut up smaller and more were on it.

The 2nd visit, the pork taco and shrimp taco were underwhelming. The pork had cooled and the shrimp were a bit tough. The horchata was watery, but the elote (ear of corn with mayo, lime and spices) was soooo freakin good! I’d go back just for that.

The Blockheads bet 8th and 9th across from Churiscarra P. It has outdoor seating in summertime, never ate just drank margaritas and sight see.
Welcome back Kristen, glad to see you’ve recovered from Marathon Weekend
