New York Street Food

Since the weather was pretty bad, and I had a lot of work to do, I walked over to Burrito Box at 885A Ninth Ave (57-58 St).  Burrito Box ix in our Honorary Street Food category, which are storefronts with few or no tables that serve what is generally considered to be street food.

Last time I was there, I wanted a taco salad in one of those big shells, but mis-ordered and ended up with a tostada salad.  It was a decent lunch, but this time I made sure to order properly.

Today’s Lunch is a grilled chicken taco salad ($9.15 incl tax) from Burrito Box.

It was a crazy morning at work and I didn’t have much time for lunch, so I walked over to Burrito Box at 885A Ninth Ave (between 57th & 58th St).  They are a storefront with only a few stools at 2 counters, but it does a booming takeout business – perfect for our Honorary Street Food category.

I previously had a really good chicken burrito and steak tacos from Burrito Box.  Today I wanted to try one of those big, crunchy taco salad bowls, but I ordered a tostada salad by mistake.  Today’s Lunch is a chicken ranchero tostada salad ($8.75 incl tax) from Burrito Box.

Burrito Box

I didn’t have much time for lunch today, so I went to one of the closest places to my office, the Burrito Box at 885A Ninth Ave (57-58).  Burrito Box is in the Honorary Street Food category since it is basically a storefront with only a couple of stools that sells street food.  Last time I had a burrito that was pretty good, but I didn’t want something so heavy today.

Today’s Lunch is an order of grilled steak tacos that cost $7.55 including tax.  How would these tacos compare to other NYC tacos?  Find out after the jump.

In my quest to expand the Honorary Street Food category, a friend recommended Burrito Box at 885 Ninth Ave, between 57th & 58th St.  It certainly qualifies, with only a storefront and a couple of stools serving tacos, burritos, quesadillas and wraps – definitely street food served from a storefront.  They also have the Lunch Box across the street with soups, sandwiches, salads and baked goodies.

The first time I went there a few day ago, the Burrito Box was closed at lunch due to problems they were having with their gas lines.  A burrito restaurant with no gas – is that some kind of cosmic joke?
