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.
