Of course it's DC's perogative about banning photos, but did we really need another reason to think he's kind of an overrated jerk? I heart food photography.

Pinche Taqueria: A Fish Taco Throwdown Becomes a Smackdown
Pinche is serious yum, like twice-a-week-fix type of yum. However there is a girl that works the counter there that is absolutely awful and manages to screw up an order every which way possible - I end up ordering in Spanish directly to the guys on the line behind her. Aside from her, me encanta!!

I really have to thank you for this review. I am a native San Diegan who is very particular about her mexican food. I was incredibly encouraged by the fact that the owner is from Tijuana... and my hopes of finding a place in New York that served Baja-style fish tacos and quality carne asada has finally been fulfilled.
For all you Southern Californians out there... this place isn't exactly like you're local hole-in-the-wall taco shop. But if you're looking for Baja style Mexican food... this place is a little taste of home :)

I work a couple of blocks away from Pinche and started going there and getting the fish tacos about a month ago after stumbling across a rave in The Voice - I couldn't agree more - the best fish tacos in Manhattan for sure.

BobbLeBot, there's a Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Lee called Mo' Pho.
Heh.
Ed, how do Pinche's fish tacos stack up against Taqueria y Fonda, on the way Upper West Side? I ask because it's my neighborhood Mexican place, and I want to know if I need to leave my comfort zone...

I agree with Ashley's and Christina's - been to both. I had Avocado Ice cream at Christina's. It was 6 years ago and I still remember it. My best friend had wasabi ice cream? I forget, it was something really strange but just delicious.
I have to say I loved Steve's Ice Cream in its hay day (I was in college in those days) and Herrell's is very good (basically the same thing and owned by the same guy - Steve Herrell).
What about Arctic Ice Cream in New London??? I think it was. My husband has a friend who lives near New London and took us there a few summers back and I had 2 flavors of ice cream. It was wonderful ice cream. The texture was great, the flavors were OOTW.
Considering that the Ben & Jerry's factory was the official B&J post, I would think they would've counted it. That factory was built way before they were a commercial interest.
When they do a report on ice cream in the South, I've got 3 places to comment on (just got back from vacation in North Carolina).

Now I love guacamole, but I don't want it on my tacos. Give me the carne asada tacos with onions and cilantro...end of story. For the fish tacos, make it some shredded cabbage and crema fresca.....and double up on the tortillas!

@missginsu...I had the same reaction. I would be embarassed to tell people that I was going to "pinche tacos," and it takes a lot to embarass me. Not so much for the profanity, but as names go, it's just kind of stupid. Like saying, "let's go out to Goddam Burgers tonight!" Duh.
But yeah, I will probably try it.

Hmmm... I'm going to have to disagree. I work down the street and have given pinche a try a couple of times and so far I'm pretty underwhelmed. Single tortilla, no lime, no onion. Not very memorable or filling. Frankly, I can make a better taco at home and I'm Irish! I've had better at just about all of the other taquerias in the outer bros. Nice people, though.

The place is seriously called Pinche Taqueria? I blush just thinking about it... Isn't somebody's abuelita offended?
That said, I look forward to trying the tacos. My favorites are currently over at Barrio Chino on Broome, but they're so crowded these days, I can barely squeeze in the door.
