  • Discover Paradise: Unveiling the Authentic Bliss of Mojito

    For my birthday celebration, I decided to hit up this fantastic spot during their happy hour, and let me tell you, the good times rolled! I lost count after sipping on four, or was it five? Their mojito is what sold me, I have a lot of mojitos but let me tell ya’ll. I want to go back here just for that mojito. The combination of zesty lemon and refreshing mint in the mojito was absolutely divine, creating a perfect balance of citrusy and herbal flavors. And you want to know the best part? They were only 8 dollars each – an absolute steal. Now, most of the spots I’ve mentioned so far have been in Manhattan, but this hidden gem is located in Queens.

    It’s your quintessential Mexican food joint, serving up some seriously delicious dishes. But what truly steals the show here are the drinks.

    My bestie went all out and ordered one of their flavored margaritas, and let me tell you, the options are practically endless. I, unfortunately, didn’t get a picture of her beverage, but just close your eyes and imagine sipping on boozy passionfruit heaven from a cactus margarita glass. It’s a true fiesta in a glass, and it was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

    So, if you’re ever in Queens and craving typical Mexican food with a side of fantastic cocktails that won’t break the bank, this place should definitely be on your list. It’s the kind of spot where good times and drinks go hand in hand, making any celebration a memorable one. Cheers to great food, even better drinks, and the incredible combination of lemon and mint in that fantastic mojito!

  • Delicious Mexican Cuisine In The Heart Of NYC

    Tortazo is a restaurant located in the heart of NYC, is great to have a nice brunch, lunch or dinner with good friends, your partner or by yourself. They have amazing food, good service, and the vibes, aesthetic and cozy atmosphere from this place are to die for. Oh, and they are also affordable!

    Moreover, my friends and I couldn’t resist and order a variety of things. We first ordered an appetizer, the Potato-Poblano flautas that were very tasty and crunchy. Then we had our main meal where we ordered two tortas, the Crispy Chicken Milanesa and the Chipotle-Roasted Chicken. These sandwiches were absolutely delicious and had an authentic Mexican flavor. The quesadillas were also amazing, the Chicken Bacon quesadilla and the combination with the salsa is heavenly. 

    Furthermore, we wanted some mojitos, but they didn’t have any. The server recommended the Hemingway Daiquiri because it was “similar”. But it wasn’t it was really strong and bitter, and we didn’t get to really enjoy them like we wanted too. However, their churros were the start of the night, we ordered the almost naked chocolate and the fully dressed caramel churros. The churros were had the right amount of sweetness. 

    My point is, go and check this place out, you won’t regret it. The food is fire and do yourself a favor and try the churros.
