The food there looks good and the atmosphere seems authentic, but I have not had a meal there myself. How do the tacos here stack up to other local favorites like El Taquito, etc?

Being able to speak Spanish is a definite plus, but pointing and smiling has always served me well. Be sure to ask about their Michoacan-style tamales, too. They're made of white masa instead of the usual yellow and they're wrapped in banana leaf instead of corn husks. And they're huge. Sadly, I think they're available only around Christmas, but don't take my word for it. Fri Apr 25 13:19:10 -0700 2008 3628906 55956 El Jefe54
