Hola foodies! The Foodie Finders NYC Crew is on the road again, and this time we are visiting some college food hot spots. The Yale University area is chock full of good eats. Today, we stopped off at Geronimo's for some great southwestern fare - which is worth the trip for the guacamole alone.
The guacamole was the clear star of the meal. If you want to take it to the next level, add roasted corn and Applewood smoked bacon. Sometimes I find that when it comes to guacamole, add-ins can get a little gimmicky, but in this case I couldn't be more wrong. The bacon and corn perfectly complimented the fresh and creamy avocado. With the bacon craze taking over the food community, It makes me wonder why more people don't add bacon to guacamole.
Another great offering was the selection of Navajo Frybreads. I really enjoyed the Chorizo and Fig Frybread. Flakey dough, sweet fig puree, and smokey sausage add up to an excellent appetizer.
Next up, nachos! More specifically, pork pibil nachos. Pork pibil is generally a slow roasted pork preparation, originating in the Yucatán Peninsula. This version had a rich sweetness that juxtaposed the spiciness of the raw jalapeños on top. Overall, it was a delicious dish.
Lastly, we ordered the Smoked Buffalo Brisket Tamales. The buffalo meat was very salty on its own, but when eaten with the pickled onions and tamale, the flavors meshed together well.
Time for something sweet! The Tres Leche cake was a great creamy and moist option.
Geronimo's was a fun stop on this road trip. My number one recommendation is to order the roasted corn and bacon guacamole (and get some pork pibil nachos while you're at it!)
