I’m in NYC for the summer after many years away, and it’s been disorienting to realize how many of my favorite spots are gone (vote democratic socialist to repair our fraying social fabric, plz!) But living in this city is all about finding reliable comforts amidst the mayhem, and for me that is vegan Mexican food. I’ve missed Mexican food so much, because it’s not really a London genre like it is here- I’ve had more than one UK burrito that tastes like weed. And as I mentioned I’m also a pig mother, so I’m not gonna be chomping down on a pork belly birria taco platter with my homies. Jajaja meets all my needs, has several locations and is fun to say.
