El Rey Del Sabor Not Immune From the Cops

When it rains it pours. Got this email from Lunch’er Brian late yesterday afternoon: “El Rey Del Sabor on 43rd and 6th got a summons today, as did the old lady. Appears it was one of the buildings across the street. I was talking to the guys in the cart. They [...]

El Rey del Sabor has added a third cart to their Mexican food empire. They’ve been flirting with the just out of ML bounds location on 28th Street and 6th Ave. for months now, but made it a permanent spot a few weeks ago.  This should considered great news for lunchers in the southern part [...]

And so it has officially begun… I went to El Rey Del Sabor (the Mexican cart on 60th and 3rd Ave.) or Monday for the first official payoff of the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge.  It’s called the “Alambre” on the sign advertising this new $6.50 sandwich- but I prefer to think of it as [...]

Mexican Cart Now Selling Chanpuitado… and Possibly a Midtown Lunch Special Sandwich?

Last week I stopped by El Rey del Sabor, the awesome Mexcian cart on 60th St. and 3rd Ave., and discovered they are now selling chanpuitado.  Admittedly, I had no idea what that is (and a google search turns up nothing so I don’t know if it’s spelled right) but it’s basically Mexcian hot chocolate… and the perfect little [...]
