Carnitas

Slow-braised pork that crisps at the edges and stays tender inside — the kind that belongs in a corn tortilla with nothing but onion and cilantro

Menudo

Weekend-only tripe soup cooked low and slow with hominy, red chile broth, and oregano — a genuine hangover cure and a neighborhood institution

Tacos

Street-style corn tortilla tacos with your choice of meat — al pastor and asada are the reliable picks, served simply with onion and cilantro

Chile Verde

Tender pork simmered in tangy tomatillo and green chile sauce — earthy, bright, and better than most in the East Bay at this price point

Enchiladas

Corn tortillas rolled around your choice of filling, blanketed in red or green sauce and melted cheese — a workhorse dish done without shortcuts
