Missing Carlos & Gabby's? Your New Tex-Mex Favorite in Beit Shemesh
If you’re an Oleh from New York, New Jersey, or Los Angeles, you know the feeling. It’s Thursday night in Beit Shemesh, you’re hungry, and suddenly nostalgia hits. You don’t miss pizza or falafel. You miss that specific taste.
You miss the line at Carlos & Gabby’s in Cedarhurst or Lakewood. You miss that first bite of a giant burrito at MexiKosher. You miss that perfect mix of Kosher Tex-Mex flavors that was part of your life.
And then you remember: you’re in Israel, and those places are 6,000 miles away.
Good News! Ta’am Mexicani Brings That Flavor Home
You don’t need a plane ticket to satisfy that craving. At Ta’am Mexicani, we’ve brought that high-quality “Fast-Casual” Tex-Mex experience directly to Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph, but with a homemade touch that makes it even better.
Here’s why we are your new local solution for that “Carlos & Gabby’s” nostalgia:
1. The Giant Burrito (Yes, really!)
We know it’s hard to find a properly sized burrito in Israel. That’s why we don’t skimp. We use Giant 30cm Flour Tortillas (12 inches) and fill them the way you love:
- Authentic Mexican Rice.
- Creamy Refried Beans.
- Fresh Pico de Gallo and salsas that actually have a kick.
- And, of course, abundant meat.
2. American-Style Customization
Just like at your favorite spots in the US, you’re the boss here. Want a balanced burrito? Order the “Classic Style”. Were you the type to ask for “double meat” at the counter? We have the “Meat Lover’s” option (All protein, no rice!). You design your experience.
3. Salsas That Make the Difference
We know good Tex-Mex lives or dies by its salsas. We don’t serve generic “charif”. Our salsas are homemade and vibrant: from our Red Salsa made with dried chilies to our famous Creamy Jalapeño.
4. Top-Tier Kosher Mehadrin
The best part of those restaurants in the US was eating amazing food without worrying about Kashrut. Here we maintain that standard.
- Our meats are Rav Machpud (Badatz Yoreh Deah).
- Our ingredients are Badatz Eidah Charedit.
- Strictly observant boutique kitchen (Neemanut).
