El Taquito

Al Pastor Tacos

Marinated pork carved from the trompo with characteristic red-orange color, pineapple sweetness, and charred edges — the cornerstone of any good taqueria

Carne Asada Tacos

Grilled beef with good char, served on double corn tortillas with onion and cilantro — the baseline test any taqueria must pass

Carnitas Tacos

Braised and crisped pork with rich, porky depth — best ordered with salsa verde to cut through the fat

Burrito

Fully loaded with rice, beans, meat, and cream — a substantial, foil-wrapped meal on its own

Lengua Tacos

Beef tongue, slow-braised until silky and tender — a litmus test for authenticity that this style of spot tends to do well
