Ay! Salsa Cart

The veggie arepa is excellent!!!

Stopped at the York street cart over by Yale a few times in the last month for a $ 5.50 pork burrito — both times very good, left satisfied.

I’m sad the store is no longer open– but they had wonderful burritos. I even tried their specialty juices and they were pretty good. I think I liked the rice (Jamaica) drink quite a bit.

tres leches is cake soaked in condensed milk. soaked, okay. but bread swimming in thick fat milk? disappointed, as it is my favorite dessert in the world which they managed to fail in. half the price of everything in the main restaurant though. so would come back again

After my friend reparked, we went on to another cart even though I was getting stuffed. They don’t call me BELT (Big Eyes, Little Tummy) for nothing! I want to eat everything but can barely fit it all in my little stomach.
Anytime I see fish tacos on a menu I have to order it. I am still looking for the best fish taco on the east coast to rival that in San Diego. At Ay Salsa food cart, I ordered tilapia arepas with salsa, rice and plantains, and horchata. Even though it was not a fish taco, it was pretty darn close! Soft pieces of tilapia (not fishy smell) with mango salsa on a round sweet corn cake (arepas– which I have never had before). What a delicious combo! The horchata (almond drink) drink was cool and refreshing!
I hit the wall while my friend ordered shumai at the Japanese cart. Where does he pack it all? Can’t do it…
Later we wandered over to the corner of Sachem and Prospect parking lot where there were more carts: Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, Thai… We could not eat another bite, but my friend chatted up a nice Filippino woman who was manning the Mexican cart. He was trying to get her to cook us some Filipino food since there are no Filipino restaurants in the area. She told us to come back to the cart next time and tell her what we want and she will make it for us. Sweet! (Now if we could get her and her husband to open a Filipino restaurant…)
