(continued from page 32) They take eggs Benedict to a whole new level, topping jalapeno goat cheese bread with BBQ brisket, a poached egg, and chipotle hollandaise—a devilishly delicious blend of sweet, savory and tangy. Of course you can devour the MexiBBQ Burger topped with a fried egg, which joins a crown of chipotle aioli, cheddar and a haystack of fried onions on a soft brioche roll. But the real award-winner here is the Hangover Cure, the restaurant’s take on chilaquiles—which are more like wonderfully sloppy breakfast nachos, which could even be enjoyed as a shared appetizer by the whole table. Crispy corn tortillas are simmered in spicy salsa verde and salsa roja, layered with sliced grilled chicken and chorizo, then topped with two soft fried eggs. During that slow-paced window between brunch and dinner, MexiBBQ will now be offering selections from a brand-new taco bar complete with a curbside window for sidewalk pick-up. Over half a dozen varieties will be offered in pairs, to be available between 3:45 and 4:30 (and hopefully lunch during the warmer months, as well). At dinner, the Fiesta Nachos are actually an eight-layer dip served with tortillas for scooping as well as several blue and yellow corn strips as a garnish. With each bite comes a wonderfully different flavor and temperature combination, as it is nearly impossible to gather every ingredient with each scoop. Cool and velvety guacamole mixes with salty green olives, spicy jalapenos, warm and creamy refried beans, sharp cheddar cheese, savory seasoned bitesized 34 | BOROMAG.COM | MAY 2015 Tacos come in pairs cubes of chicken, Mexican cream and garden-fresh pico de gallo. Another dish perfect for sharing with the entire table. Though they’re listed as a side dish for only $5, the fried pickles make a perfect appetizer as well. Long spears of tart and tangy pickles are beautifully coated in a crispy and golden breading that miraculously holds on to each pickle with every bite. Be sure to dip them in the shot glass of southwestern cream that accompanies the pickles. It’s one of the best deals on the menu. Outstanding food, innovative cocktails, exceptional service and a vibrant atmosphere are what you can expect at MexiBBQ. Five years in, it’s a crazy-explosive-comfort-delicious blend of the American deep south and Mexico that really just feels a whole lot like home. 37-11 30th Ave., Astoria 718-626-0333 www.mexibbq.com FOOD & DRINK Cornflake Crusted French Toast
