Rancho Alegre
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Last week in the comments, AB mentioned the opening of Rancho Alegre on Newkirk Ave, between East 16th and East 17th Streets. It’s been open about two weeks, taking over the space that the Mexican bakery used to occupy. The menu (click on the pics below to view them larger) makes it seem like a fairly standard deli, with a few Mexican options. Inside though, there are signs for tortas ($5.95) and specials, and they have $1.50 tamales in the afternoon, and so that’s more promising.
I stopped in this morning and ended up going off menu when I asked if they had any tortas in the morning, with eggs. They didn’t, but they made it up, and it was a really good sandwich, especially the bread. I’m looking forward to trying some of those tamales.
They close pretty early (6pm weekdays, occasionally later on the weekends) and they don’t deliver, so you’ll have to stop in one morning or afternoon to investigate for yourself.
