The hunt for Mexican food continues. Cascabel Taqueria, 1542 Second Avenue (80/81). UES taqueria, not quite a restaurant, but not a joint either. Tasty Avocado Pummelo Ensalada with grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro and plenty of red onions. The avocado was ripe, generous, and a perfect foil for the red onions, slightly sour pummelo and sweet grape tomatoes. Nice mix of textures.
Two tacos to an order, each served on two fresh corn tortillas. The Tacos Pescardo consisted of a crispy fried piece of yellowfin tuna belly, topped with sliced hearts of palm, chopped olives and onions. I am not a big fan of deep frying fish. Perhaps a less delicately flavored fish should be used. All ingredients tasted fresh. Definitely want to return to try the tacos carnitas, and to sample the churros.
The staff is hospitable, from front to back. A busy place, even early on a Thursday night.
