When you head out to Citi Field I highly recommend you head to center field. Odds are that the line at the Shake Shack will be insane, but I think I have a new favorite.
I was digging the Shake Shack ($17 for burger, fries and shake) but then I discovered the much bigger and much tastier and much bigger Johnny Rockets Shake at New Yankee.
So now I’m disappointed in the tiny Shake Shack Shake. It’s not that it’s bad…but after a half an hour I need something to fill me. I’ll save my shakes for the Bronx.
My advice? Stop being trendy and stop standing on line for half an hour, and look toward the field where you will find the Taqueria.
My buddy and I both had the Combo Taco Platter. Three tacos and some other thing (I don’t even understand the phrasing on the menu, but who cares, it was good). The salsas are yummy but make sure you grab a thousand napkins or you will wind up with Salsa Pants like I did.
Tack on a large soda and you’re looking at $14…which sounds like a lot until you realize you are actually full! You’d spend like $10 on a half cooked hot dog and a soda anyway, and still be hungry.
I’m not dissing the Shack, but when you add it all up – Tacos is a better call.
