However, the food quality and prices definitely meet suburban-franchise standards. The place just looks too fun for the food to be good. it&#8217;s also too big. I think in NYC, the smaller the place, the better the food. Like <a href="http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/ZZev5RGVH5XMtCrqEgDjag/l">Snack Dragon Taco Shack</a> in the East Village &#8211; there isn&#8217;t even an inside!</p>
<p><span id="more-20"></span></p>
<p>Anyway, I opted for the <strong>Breakfast Tacos</strong> <em>&#8220;Two flour tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, chorizo and cheese. Topped with salsa roja. Served with refried beans.&#8221;</em> for $15.95! Yea, that price is ridiculous but it does come with &#8220;turkey ham&#8221; (wtf?),  jalapeño cornbread (why?), coffee and a margarita.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ihearttacos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tacos-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21" title="tacos-1" src="http://www.ihearttacos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tacos-1.jpg" alt="tacos-1" width="583" height="388" /></a></p>
<p>First things first, are these even tacos? I think they are enchiladas. Pretending they are tacos, there are only two of them. In my opinion, three is the optimal number. Even when Marisa and I ordered &#8220;one&#8221; taco on the street in Mexico, they gave us three anyway because they know what&#8217;s up. Second, the tortillas were flour. Unless I&#8217;m at <a href="http://www.chipotle.com/" target="_blank">Chipotle</a>, I prefer corn tortillas. The tacos themselves were mildly tasty but heavy. There was nothing fresh in/on them (e.g. onions, cilantro, tomato). The chorizo was nothing I&#8217;d call Mexican. No spice, no dripping orange oil, no burping all night, and no red shit in my teeth. The potatoes would have been good if they weren&#8217;t already cooked 2 or 3 times. I hoped the cornbread would be a random treat but it was dry and where are the jalapeños? Beans were bland as usual. And then the real black sheep of the dish: turkey ham. What the hell is turkey ham? I&#8217;m not sure but it seemed like a turkey version of Canadian bacon. And yes, it tasted like it sounds; Like an imitation of an imitation of something amazing.  So, now I&#8217;m realizing they throw in a 50¢ worth of turkey ham and cornbread so it looks like I&#8217;m getting a ton of food for $16!</p>
<p>Verdict: Don&#8217;t go here for brunch. I can&#8217;t speak for the rest of the food but I can say they have good coffee and good margaritas.</p>
