It was so cold as we turned the corner to Elizabeth Street. But walking into Tacombi was like walking down a little street, tucked away in Mexico.

Lights drape across the ceiling. Tacos are served out of an old VW van on tin trays. Metal painted tables are scattered between palms. For 30 minutes, I felt like I was on a summer getaway, hundred of miles from New York City and the freezing temperature outside.

For dinner I had the Frijoles con Queso y Nopales -- Black beans, plantain, and nopal cactus tacos topped with queso fresco and Auga de Jamaica -- Hibiscus flower tea. Mmmmm.
