Eat the World NYC review:
An almost magical area containing one of the densest concentrations of Oaxacans on the east coast is right in New Brunswick, NJ. A good place to begin your explorations is at one of the longest running, La Placita Mexicana, which has evolved in its ten or so years of existence from a tiny kitchen inside a grocery to a slightly less tiny kitchen inside a grocery with a massive following. Because growth really is not an option at this original location, they have opened up two formal restaurants nearby, but the casual nature of the grocery is still preferred.
The big crispy yet stretchy tortilla used for tlayudas ($10-12) is not ever made to order, as these are actually imported from Oaxaca. A layer of asiento (unrefined pork lard) and black beans creates the canvas for lettuce, the meat of your choice, stringy white Oaxacan cheese and avocado. Before the tlayuda is folded over, it is large and round, about the size of a medium pizza. Sometimes it is served without folding like at Costa Chica across the street, but at casual places and on the street the fold is done to make the dish easier to eat by hand.
