You could say we've been on a taco binge here at Serious Eats. After biking through Brooklyn and Queens last Sunday eating tacos along the way (wait for the video coming next week), I decided that Monday should be devoted to East Harlem, another hotbed of Mexican tortilla-wrapping activity (and yes, we'll be getting out of New York for Project Taco. West Coast, Midwest, South, get your tacos ready!) Check out the best tacos in the 'hood.

Tucked into a narrow stretch of Park Avenue, where the Metro North Railroad disappears underground, is where you'll find
Earl's Beer & Cheese. The menu at Earl's changes seasonally, and currently features dishes like Mac and Cheese, Asian Gnocchi topped with cheese fries, and Earl's Eggo, a gourmet waffle with cheddar.

Somehow between my high school Spanish, our server's patience, and some pointing at the menu, we were able to put together a nice little vegetarian feast for lunch.

It's easy to want
Red Rooster, Marcus Samuelsson's new 125th Street soul-food-with-a-twist spot, to succeed. Despite the busloads of tourists scarfing down mediocre ribs and fried chicken from nearby Sylvia's, the dining landscape in this neck of the woods is pretty grim. Can Red Rooster change the landscape of fine dining in Harlem?

"Welcome to Harlem," was the greeting diners got from a smiling Marcus Samuelsson at the Friday night opening of
Red Rooster, his eagerly anticipated Harlem restaurant and lounge. A six-year resident of the neighborhood, he's banking his reputation and payroll on Harlem being able to support a moderately high-end restaurant.

The
Norvegienne ($7.50) at Patisserie d'Ambassades in Harlem is not your whole grain-arugula-pesto type of wrap. It's more of a Friday-night-football type of wrap, or as
Carey says, "Satisfying in a hangover-cure way."

It isn't always easy to find really great tacos in this city that are made purely out of vegetables. Many places have a vegetarian offering, but it's just whatever veggies happen to be laying around. At Café Ollin, a...
