I chose the Midtown Lunch special sandwich (spicy Mexican cheese steak) and a chicken empanada. The owners of the cart were touting the habanero peppers as extra spicy today, but I didn't notice that - I'm VERY much into spicy peppers. Anyway, the sandwich was good, but carrying it back to the office caused it to become a bit soggy. The taste was better than a regular street cart cheese steak, but I think a LITTLE more spiciness from the peppers would have made it perfect. It is a good size, with a good portion of meat. The chicken empanada was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend it - for $1.50 it is a generous portion. Finally, the green salsa they make/serve is top notch. It is VERY spicy and very tasty. I wish every Mexican restaurant had it. They should bottle it and mass market it. That is how good it is. I leave you with a picture of the Midtown Lunch special being cooked: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35550851@N05/3293436608/ Just got back from El Rey Del Sabor.

Great sandwich, really filling and spicy! Also had one of their chicken empanadas, flakey and nicely spiced. Too bad this cart is too far away from my normal area. The soft tacos looked great.
