"The stretch of Roosevelt Ave. between Jackson Heights and Corona is lined with street vendors selling tamales, chuzos, seco de chivo, and more. To stand out, you can’t just be good. You have to make dreams come true—for $20 or less. Tlayuda Oaxaqueña Sr San Pablo, with its mound of fresh masa and sizzling cecina that lingers on your tastebuds, sets the current benchmark. The manhole-sized tlayudas are the marquee items at this cart across from Corona Plaza, and two people can easily spend an hour pulling one apart, grabbing messy bites of shredded lettuce, crumbled chorizo, and strips of Oaxaca cheese. But the huaraches, quesadillas, and tacos gigantes deserve your attention as well. We’d tell you to run over now, but you have all night. This place stays open 24 hours." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
