"In New York and New Jersey, there are bodegas that are basically delis run by Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and occasionally Cubans, though the latter is less common. Most of these places serve beef, pork, chicken, yellow rice, a variety of vegetables, and beans. Since I don’t eat beef or pork, if I find myself only able to buy a chicken taco, it’s usually a one-time deal for me. I might grab something out of hunger, but I won’t return for more if it doesn’t align with my dietary preferences. I also don’t eat white rice.
About six months ago, I ordered a half chicken with yellow rice and beans. The chicken came diced into pieces, and I had the choice of either flour or corn tortillas, along with a small plate of onions, lime slices, cilantro, and various sauces. It’s filling enough for lunch and dinner. The price was $14.99 then, and now it’s $19.99, which is still reasonable considering it provides enough for two meals. If you’re dining alone, that’s perfect for two meals, and if you’re with someone else, you can both enjoy it.
I’ve eaten here about five times over the past six or seven months, mainly because I’m not always in the area; otherwise, I’d come more often. This has become my go-to Mexican spot in Austin. Additionally, the service is consistently quick. I just bought a meal from them yesterday, had half of it around 7 PM, and this morning I finished the rest. I had to share my experience!
