I was planning to go to my favorite Mexican spot in Corona today to get some of my beloved tamales, tacos, and horchata, but given that the trek to get out to Corona, Queens, is not a short one, I figured I would call and check their hours to make sure they didn’t have some random day off in the middle of the week. Well, it’s a good thing I did that because I found out that they are closed not just Monday, not just Tuesday, but Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! This place has become so intensely popular since I lived in Queens that it’s now only open four days a week! This is a place that used to be open seven days a week! Ever since all the celebrity chefs came to check the place out and were on TV showcasing it, the popularity of this spot has no bounds. They even opened a Mexican rotisserie chicken not too far away and distribute their fresh masa and freshly pressed corn tortillas (from fresh corn, not cornmeal). They are a true success. And this wife-and-husband team are from Mexico, so I hope President Dipshit doesn’t try to deport them.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy that they’re doing very well for themselves and that people who consider themselves borough snobs who live in Brooklyn and Manhattan (also known as ignorant assholes) will actually come out to Queens to try their food, but I was just having a selfish moment because I wanted their food for myself. And now I have to wait until Thursday.

Three days off per week, though — that’s a really good life, isn’t it?
