I just discovered another cheap restaurant near Union Square: it is called Dorado Tacos & Quesadillas. They make tacos and quesadillas, but you can also get soup, one being with cheese and quesadillas, the other one with tacos. Ok, let just say that they serve tacos and quesadillas in different ways!!!

It is a small place with a communal table in the center, two small tables and some stools. It is so small that If you sit at one of the tables like I did, don't be surprised to bang into the person behind you from time to time! 

The way it works is that you order at the counter, they assign you a number, and will call you once your food is ready. 

We started off with the chips, guacamole and salsa.

The guacamole was already packaged but pretty good! The salsa, not spicy and refreshing, perfect with the tortilla chips that were thick, well salted and seemed homemade. 

Then, I decided to go with an all fish taco selection. I first picked the Baja taco: beer batter Atlantic whitefish served with cabbage, picked onions, crema and salsa fresca.

The second one was the grilled fish taco made with mahi mahi.

Between the two, I preferred the Baja Taco: more flaky, crispy and tasty; but don't get me wrong, the mahi mahi one was good too! 

Then Jodi got the vegetarian black bean quesadilla.

It was a vegetarian black bean quesadilla that contained...black beans, salsa and some cheese. It was pretty good with a nice crispness.

It was definitely a delicious meal, at a very good price! So if you are in the area and want to eat cheap, this is a good place!

Enjoy (I did)!
