Tacubaya

Carnitas Tacos

The restaurant's signature: slow-braised pork with caramelized edges, served on fresh tortillas with bright salsa and onion

Aguas Frescas

House-made fresh fruit waters — horchata and seasonal fruit versions are the draw, not an afterthought

Quesadillas

Simple, properly executed — fresh tortillas, melted cheese, good fillings; the carnitas version is the one to get

Enchiladas

Sauced and satisfying, leaning on house-made chile sauces that give them more depth than the average taqueria version

Tamales

Masa-forward and traditional in preparation — seasonal or rotating, worth asking if available
