If you like Mexican food, Bushwick is the neighborhood for you. If you don’t like it, you may go to bed hungry if your apartment is devoid of any food you’d consider eating, and you’re too lazy to make the trek to the Food Bazaar.

I frequent many Mexican joints in my neighborhood, but mostly Cholulita. On a Saturday morning, I stumble out of bed and pick up the phone to place my order, which is usually fraught with a misunderstanding or two, probably owing to my accent and complete lack of ability in Spanish. My roommates usually get a kick out of hearing me desperately try to ensure I get my food exactly the way I want it: “Egg and cheese and bacon on a BAGEL, with TOMATO” or “TWO, just two beef tacos.” After getting off the phone, I laze around for a few minutes, throw on some clothes, and head over the street to collect my breakfast.

Cholulita makes a pretty good egg sandwich and other staples like chicken and beef tacos, fries, Philly cheese steak, guacamole and chips, salads, papaya smoothies, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc. Their spicy green sauce is a winner; a taco is not complete without it. Stop in next time you’re in the neighborhood.

Cholulita is located at 888 Broadway Avenue (between Belvidere St & Arion Pl), Bushwick, accessible via the Myrtle-Broadway JMZ station. Telephone (347) 435-0813.
