Cascabel Taqueria is a Mexican restaurant located in the Upper East Side of NYC (they also have a location on the Upper West Side as well). Mexican food is certainly a favorite of ours, so finding a good spot in the city is always a goal.
One evening we stopped in to grab a drinks and some appetizers (though we’ve heard their brunch is pretty awesome too). We ended up with:
Queso Fundido- chihuahua cheese, house made chorizo, rosated poblano, and served with warm tortillas.
Elote Asado- grilled corn with mexican aioli, lime, casacabel chili, queso cotija, and cilantro.
Gorditas con Puerco- heritage pork belly topped with chipotle honey glaze, cucumber, cilantro, and served on masa cakes.
I loved the pork belly and the other apps were a great compliment. I definitely look forward to trying out their plates and tacos. Plus, a boozy brunch might be in order one of these weekends!
