Marina's Menu: TRES CARNES in NYC is Delicious

With the holidays in full swing, a quick and delicious meal is welcome whether you are shopping, or meeting up with friends and family. For our readers who are near one of New York City's Tres Carnes restaurants, we suggest you stop by for lunch or dinner or take-out and enjoy the delicious "Texas Smoked Mexican Fare." They are now located in the Flatiron District, Midtown East and the Financial District. And they offer catering too.

Chef Sasha Shor, who conceived Tres Carnes, has devised ideal accompaniments to the flavors of the tacos, burritos, and burrito bowls that anchor the Tres Carnes menu. Green poblano rice, cotija cheese, chipotle squash, and pickled onions can be added in to any of these entrees. Settle into favorites, or play these flavors against the weekly smokes. The tangy pickled onions, for instance, contrast deliciously with beef and pork selections.

There are also vegetable-oriented weekly smokes like portobello mushrooms or rainbow peppers. Classic weekly meat smokes can include chorizo or prime rib and there a few that nobody would ever predict including beer braised beef cheeks and free-range antelope.

After a full meal, make sure to try the fresh agave limeade and the churro donuts. These plump pastries are sugar-coated and have a tender, chewy texture, and come filled with dark Mexican caramel.

Tres Carnes proves how savory the fast-casual trend can be and surprises guests with efficient line service and pleasant eat-in seating options. For more information visit www.trescarnes.com.
