Taco Chulo
For a city that prides itself on having every cuisine, New York sure does fail at Tex-Mex. Every Lone Star transplant has the same question: How can I find the comfort food of home? Come to Williamsburg, my friend. Taco Chulo sells one of the cuisine’s great delicacies—queso. It’s nothing more than melted Velveeta and Rotel, but experiencing this underrated delicacy away from home will have you feeling the joy Chong must have felt upon encountering Amsterdam.
