I am never one to turn down a taco, no matter what kind of diet I am on or mood I’m in (insert as many taco emojis as possible here).

Street Taco has a pretty simple concept- bomb ass tacos, drinks, flautas, desserts and more in an incredibly artistic setting that will leave you inspired and full in the best way possible.

Suzuki Offers Rare and Sensuous Culinary Delight in Midtown
From an early age, we’re taught that playing with our food is socially impolite. Fortunately for cosmopolitan diners, Chef Toshio Suzuki didn’t heed that advice.
