STEPH DEROSA: SLOW BURN >>>
Tijuana Taco
Tostada Grande
Price: $5.97
Burn Factor: One-half out of four Molotov cocktails
OK, fine, I get it. I know that traditional Mexican food is not spicy. I know that it’s usually the Tex-Mex, or Americanized version that we are accustomed to that is kicked up with the spices I love so much. But I’ve had it with trying to find spice at a Mexican Restaurant. I give up.
For the second time, I’ve been told at a Mexican restaurant, this time at Tijuana Taco in Lakewood, that there is nothing spicy on the menu and that pickled jalapeños are my only tongue burning, gut blazing option.
Pickled jalapeños?
C’mon amigos, at least give me FRESH jalapeños if that’s how you’re gonna play me.
So for the second time in my brief Slow Burn career I’ve endured a mound of pickled jalapeños that later gives me what Pappi Swarner so cleverly refers to as “hot hole.†If you don’t know what “hot hole†is, and you’re brave enough to find out, e-mail me and I’ll tell you.
Tijuana Taco is definitely a fresh, quaint little taco shop located in Lakewood off 100th Street that as I said before, has nothing spicy to offer. The special of the day was the Tostada Grande with a drink for $5.97. Nothing about the Tostada Grande’s spice impressed me aside from the retched hot hole I endured within the 24 hours after its consumption.
From now on, I stay away from the Mexican-themed joints.
