2025 Taco Walk
The first official Taco Walk occurred on a warm and picturesque Sunday in Albany, NY. My friend Josh and I had drawn a plan of attack and the newly created score sheets would enable us to keep careful track of every factor involved. Josh's son gave us a ride to Lark Street. We opted to walk our way home sampling tacos along the three mile path. Finally, we were underway. First stop, La Pollerina , 216 Lark St, Albany, NY 12210. Website The space is small, with only a small selection of metal stools along the counter, and no tables or bathrooms. The menu shows equal brevity with a focus on simple dishes or family dinners which rely mostly on their rotisserie-cooked chicken. The tacos are well portioned and taste terrific. The chicken is moist and tender. The tortillas aren't pan seared but instead are perfectly steamed. Instead of a traditional verde sauce they offer a smokey brown sauce with a nice heat which we both found quite enjoyable. A glorious first start....
