Magdalena’s Menu

Finally I was able to wake up early enough to come and try Magdalena’s Menu! I had chicken tamale and chicken burrito, they are pretty good! I was brave enough to try the hot sauce, and it was not as spicy as the one my bf had at home.
Besides tamales and burritos, they also serve empanadas, nachos and chiles rellenos.
Good news! If you can’t wake up early for the Troy Farmers Market, I also found their website:
. Magdalena’s Menu not just a food stand anymore! The actual restaurant is located in Valatie, about 30 minutes drive from where I live. I’ll go and try it :)

The Night Hawk review inspired me to make a place that Magdalena’s Menu could call home.
Let me start off by saying I hail from a land that you can buy tamales in the Costco Parking lot, where breakfast burritos are just a drive thru away, Where you don’t have to ask for things spicy and where conversations like «where do you want to go for dinner?» «I dunno, I’m pretty broke» «Okay, let’s do Mexican» take place.
It was quite the culture shock when I moved here.
You CHARGE for chips and salsa? You want HOW much for a tamale?
While this little stand at the farmers market doesn’t fulfill all of my hopes and dreams it at least helps fill the void.
It’s cheap, hot and fast. Just how I like my women, I mean Mexican food.
Great Vegetarian options like Potato and Cheese Empanadas and Black Bean tamales.
I’ve heard the chicken is fantastic.
Like I’ve said before, their prices went up but I’m crossing my fingers it’s so they can open up their own place.
A girl can dream.
