Pan fried salmon & vegetables

Pan fried salmon & vegetables on rice,
from a Tex-Mex restaurant called Happy Taco Burrito,
located on Sullivan Street near Bleecker, in Manhattan (New York, USA).

 

This restaurant is an establishment run by Chinese people making Tex-Mex food.  The food is good quality, fresh, good flavor, and inexpensive.  Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas and other combinations are available.  Some combo specials include rice, beans, choice of chicken, beef or shrimp fajita, lettuce & tomatoes and a soda, and two freshly made tortillas, for a price that's hard to beat.  During the winter (and even today when I ate there) they have free tea!  They also offer fajitas by the pound.

As far as looks, this is a step up from one of those hole-in-the-wall chinese food places (can't even call them restaurants), but not by much. The decor is basic, nothing fancy at all, with panel ceilings, some mirrors, and some eastern decorations here and there, including a statue of Buddha and the traditional "cat clock" by the window and bamboo tree plant.  They do have various magazines, available for browsing while you eat in.

They accept major credit cards for payment, but have a $10 minimum.  For one person, your meal will often not reach even that much.
