This place is to the taco what Pizza Hut is to
pizza. Pizza Hut serves sweet, doughy stuff that resembles pizza only
in the fact the general ingredients are similar. It tastes nothing
like anything else on earth. Fresco Tortillas uses chicken and lettuce,
shredded cheese and tomato, but the similarity to the taco ends there.
None of the requisite Mexican spices are present. The chunks of chicken
are cooked in some manner that makes it almost crispy in a charbroiled
kind of way. It's just some weird Mexinese Frankenstein that somehow
works in ways it certainly shouldn't. These guys clearly spared no
expense on a decorator, what with the post-modern grease stains, amazing
fluorescent lighting schema, 100% vintage Formica and one of the largest
period Xerox collections in the Northeast. But while they go all out
for their customers, they still manage to keep prices low, service
lightening fast and smiles a mile wide. [MF]
