New Taco Express is one of those super cheap Mexican food joints that is neither authentic nor outstanding but offers quick and decent food at great prices. It\u2019s almost identical to the Fresco Tortilla restaurants that are available all over the city. While the food isn\u2019t spectacular, it\u2019s reliable and you always know what to expect; it\u2019s kind of like fast food in that regard.<\/p>\n
I usually get the same order at these places \u2013 a combination plate with chicken, and tex-mex chili on a flour tortilla. The combination plates are huge and come with chicken, rice, beans (black or pinto, your choice), lettuce, tomato, and two flour tortillas. The flour tortillas are my favorite \u2013 they\u2019re homemade and thicker and doughier than supermarket tortillas. They have a nice mild flavor and a pleasant chewy texture. The chicken that comes with the combination plate is an ample portion and more than enough to fill the two tortillas. I always mix the rest with the rice and beans and eat it with a fork.<\/p>\n
