The headline: "Mexican Revolution in Passaic."<br /><br />I described the authentic food, and the restaurants, bakeries, markets, manufacturers and wholesale warehouses. Victor E.

I used to shop in the wholesale Mecican warehouses open to the public, and wolfed down tacos at Brenda Lee and other taquerias. But the sanitation was awful and I didn't want to know where the meat came from.<br /><br />Taqueria Los Gueros has a great fish taco and branches in Englewood and East Rutherford, and I've been to both.<br /><br />What I really object to is Ung and her overeating cohorts completely ignoring how the food she raves about was grown or raised.Victor E.

You sure are a tough crowd.<br /><br />Admittedly Ung et al are usually purveyors of dreck and chazzerai but in this case, lighten up a little. This is the neighborhood where my grandfather and great uncles started out in America. They had their groceries and fruit stands on Market Street in Passaic. I'm sentimental about such places. Give the Mexicans a break. Back in the day tongue and brisket were still the coin of realm.dlwilson26https://www.blogger.com/profile/02443098422005693038noreply@blogger.com
