These flautas were fresh and crisp, with a filling of shredded pork and chunks of hatch chile I could both see and taste. The balance of all of the ingredients was almost perfect, and the cool sour cream (my dip of choice) set the whole thing off with just the right amount of cool. My only wish was that there were three or four flautas instead of two, but that's because they were so darned good.

This is easily one of the best tacos I've ever had. The well-seasoned pork is set of so nicely by the queso fresco and cilantro. The double corn tortillas is a plus as well. Definitely work the trip to the trailer for this one.

Everything about the dish, from the presentation to the range of flavors is perfect. The sushi-grade tuna is tossed in light dressing of sesame and curry oils, that don’t weigh it down but give it nice warmth you feel in the very back of your throat. The sliced avocado and citrus fruits offer a cool counterpoint to the heat of the oils and complimentary textures for the tuna. Pile a bit of everything onto the sesame crisps and the combination is delightful.

When I read the description of this taco I though "wow - that's a brilliant combination of tastes" but unfortunately the execution was only okay. I certainly expected more from Jamaican jerk chicken, grilled jalapenos, mango, Sour cream, and cilantro served on a flour tortilla with Diablo sauce. What was most odd was my inability to really distinguish any of the specific flavors in a bite I think the chicken simply overpowers everything else. I might try it again on a flour tortilla (I had corn today) to see if that makes any difference.

Many people think that the hollandaise sauce makes or breaks an Eggs Benedict, but at Blue Star I discovered that in reality it's all about the English Muffin. This dish is built on the best English Muffin I have ever had from a the local New World Bakery. Both crispy and tender with just the right hint of sourdough, these muffins are the perfect base for nicely-cooked eggs and a hollandaise that makes but doesn't overpower the dish.
