So this is definately not a tacqueria but I figured I would post this very confusing ethnic experience anyway. I popped into this little place, between the asian grocery and the water guy I think, hoping to get some good asian food. The set-up was this, four or five chafing dishes filled with various food. The one that caught my attention first was big wads of foil. I asked what was inside and and with some teamwork, we agreed that it was a whole, fried fish. The other dishes I was offered were "Adovada Pork" and "Barbeque". I took these.
I got a styrofoam plate bulging with sticky white rice, adovada, and "barbeque". As a southerner, I feel I really must mention that this was a far cry from anything I know as "barbeque". What we had were chopped pieces of what I hope was chicken along with some peppers in a brownish sauce. I have no idea if it was supposed to be mexican, asian, or what, but it was tasty, as was the adovada.
The whole time I sat outside at the one table, munching, I was being passed by elderly Fillipino ladies who I think were waiting for their laundry at the laundromat and were sipping on a strange drink. It looked like somebody had thrown a buch of gummy bears into strawberry Quik. Throw in a bunch of baked goods I have never seen in my life and you have yourself a place so confusing I must go back and unravel its mysteries . It seems, that in IB, even the "Sari-Sari and Bake Shops" must appeal the tacqueria crowd. My mind is blown.
