      I have to correct here, Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I of Austria (died 1519) was not the same as Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico, Archduke of Austria, who was executed in Mexico on 19 June 1867. Unfortunately, poor Maximilian never made it back home to Austria and it will always be our loss in culinary terms.

    You can actually order the sundae when you order your tacos and they’ll give you a voucher to exchange for the sundae when you’re ready! You exchange it at the same window you pick up your tacos at. That way you don’t have to get back on the line

    Beatles! Great shirt. 👍Well I was just there yesterday. Loved them all except for the mushroom one. For me it had a great smoky flavor but the texture killed it for me. Kind of rubbery with a little bit of slime for my liking.. and I like mushrooms so that was a miss. The dessert was great! As good as the tacos.. who knew? Corn husk meringue sundae. Great review as always!

    • @Jamesnu

    Jardin means garden and apparently refers to the vegetables in your taco. This is different. I’ve been living in Santa Barbara for about the past 34 years.

    Hi James ! Hmmm...eating spicy / chilli food while standing and not seated ? Definitely going to lead to a rumbling stomach and the restroom ! The food looked very good, but that's expensive, even if you did order more than some others. But Mexican food is pricey over here in Oz, too. The tacos must've been made by Salt Bae ! Self order ? Not for us older guys. You should be getting a discount for placing the order yourself ! Another fine video. Subscribers are creeping up, which is good to see. All the best !

    have fun in Austria, try to catch a show at the Vienna State Opera, tickets are much cheaper than in the US because of state subsidy, or you can do the standing room for 3 euros, the roof of the Staatsoper was bombed by the Americans during WWII that's why it looks plain, but the rest of the house was rebuilt as it was originally.

    Tacos are Heaven

    Fantastic video.
    Wish I could get hyped for those tacos but $40 for 4 and some chips and guac is criminal. For decades I split my work between NYC and LA and fell down the rabbit hole with street tacos. Since NYC doesn’t have anything close to the taco culture of LA, this is the result. This is a $12 meal all day in Los Angeles… and even without “pineapple butter” they’re life changing. I’ll leave this joint to the clueless kids and tourists, although wouldn’t mind checking out his place in Mexico City.

      Thank you! LA and the West Coast have always been superior to the East Coast when it comes to tacos, but when one of the best chefs in the world chooses NYC to house his taco restaurant, that's saying something.

      @@Jamesnu Certainly cool he’s opening restaurants in NYC, just not cool in my book to over inflate prices to the point where most people can’t afford them. It’s an insult to the people from Mexico living in NYC that will never taste them. The humble taco is food for the people… it fuels many of us living in North and South America. If this was fine dining… why does the restaurant look like a standard taqueria? Love your channel James and respect your opinion but we’ll have to disagree on this one!
