The past few years the businesses at 111 – 115 Court Street building, with the exception of Fresco Tortillas, have been turning over like pancakes. The building is set to undergo some, uh, procedures. Store are cleared out, as are rental units upstairs. I’m guessing gut reno, expensive coops or condos, but given the economy and current lack of demand for these, we may not see any finished work for a while.

Taqueria, 7th Avenue
You got your beans, guacamole, rice, taco, sour cream, and a couple of tortilla chips. My friend declared it all quite tasty. Fish tacos are a west coast phenomenon that traveled north from seaside Baja California, Mexico, to San Diego and points elsewhere in California, then across the US.
The Taqueria has been in the neighborhood for years. The food’s not bad. The place is cash and carry, though, and they don’t post their prices, so sometimes you’re in for a surprise at the register. I’m pretty sure they arbitrarily charge based on how much money they think you’ve got on you.
