Cooking credentials

I'd be less shameless in my first post, but I need to go get pictures and names to give you the lowdown on two great taco places downtown Yonkers. Get your appetite ready for that one.

While you're salivating over the thought of crispy carnitas and a bar with chopped veggies for topping piping hot tortillas and meat, here's a nod to Liz's taste and cooking.

She prepared an awesome roast chicken (who wants to see her post the recipe, raise your fork), skin-on mashed potatoes and green beens tonight. Feast your eyes on one fowl dish.

I'm sure the birds roasting as you walk into Malecon, 390 South Broadway in Yonkers, are almost as tasty. We ordered other dishes, which were great, although they took longer than the chicken, which arrived almost as fast as the people at the neighboring table ordered. The mojito was tasty, mint and sugar crushed with a pestal and a twig of sugar cane sticking out of the glass. The avacodo salad was overkill (I'm not sure I can eat a whole avacado in a sitting even if it's guacamole) given that there was avacado on the regular salad. Definitely worth trying. Everything was well-prepared and tasty with moderate pricing, although drinks can add up quickly.
