Taqueria Taxco
#7What's Hot

Taqueria Taxco

Trompo tacos - thin-sliced al pastor cooked on the spit with charred edges - are the core offering here. Breakfast items and menudo execute the same formula: fresh meat, fresh cilantro and onion, lime wedge. It's counter-service inside a gas station, portions lean small, and seating is limited - but daily specials and $$ pricing offset the constraints.

This is Tex Mex and should be judged as so. Chips are excellent, yellow cheese sauce (not Mexican) really good.
