The standard grilled pork taco was made with thinly sliced pork, a slice of pineapple, diced onions, and cilantro on a light grilled, perfectly chewy, homemade corn tortilla. While most people were ordering the classic tacos al pastor, listed on the menu as the Grilled Pork Taco (35 pesos or about $1.73), I knew I had to try the Grilled Pork Taco Macho (50 pesos or about $2.48) when I saw it.

Plain tacos before a visit to the salsa barĪt many taquerias found across Mexico, when you order your tacos, you will receive them plain on a tortilla with no other toppings. My favorite condiment was the creamy guacamole which kept me coming back for more. All of the condiments were complimentary, so you could add as much or as little as you wanted. This included an assortment of salsas ranging from mild to spicy, freshly made pico de gallo, guacamole, limes, and vegetables including onions, cabbage, and cucumbers.

On the other hand, if you are a fan of street food as I am, then you might appreciate the experience. If you are expecting a quiet dining experience, you might be disappointed. The taqueria reminded me of a street food stall complete with the street noise, sounds of workers preparing food, and the smell of smoke and meat. So with no walls, it was colder that I was anticipating. On the day I visited, it was windy and rainy. On warm sunny days, the breeze passing through the dining area can be quite comfortable.
