Post #1 - May 26th, 2010, 9:04 pmA friend of mine is helping to organize a New York Taco Crawl, although it is for him and a few friends, I thought that it might be useful to post the list of taquerias on the Beyond Chicago board.

This weekend, Sonoma Howie and I will be following the path through Flushing blazed by Pigmon & Trixie Pea. Any suggestions over there?

Yup, those are precisely the ones on our list. I was asking about taco places since we *might* need a break from dumplings, noodles, and chopsticks, and a taquito seems like just the proper sort of break-ingredient.

Post #5 - May 27th, 2010, 3:58 pmI was thinking that you were interested in Flushing. I don't know of taco places there. Corona and Jackson Heights seem like the places to do, and there are several places listed above.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster.

Post #6 - May 28th, 2010, 5:23 amA place more about the tortillas/masa than tacos, but I'd recommend Nixtamal in Corona. I've enjoyed their tacos, tamales and pozole.
Tortilleria Nixtamal
104-05 47th Avenue
Corona, NY 11368
Walkable from Flushing -- just over a mile -- although the subway may be the better option depending on your time constraints. Three local stops from Flushing. About five minutes from the 103rd St./Corona Plaza station. On the edge of a fading Italian enclave, essentially across the street from Leo’s Latticini mentioned in the great post by Pigmon & Trixie Pea.
