Description:
Looking at this humble street-corner shack, you'd never guess it was blessed with an endorsement by the late Julia Child. The tacos here are authentic and no nonsense, with generous portions of filling piled onto fresh, grainy corn tortillas. My favorites are the adobado (marinated pork), gorditas (thick corn masa pockets filled with spicy beans), and the flank steak. A dollop of house-made salsa and green or red hot sauce is the only adornment required. Sunday's special is pozole, a stew of pork and hominy in red-chile sauce. On Friday and Saturday, the specialty is freshly made tamales (if the Dover sole tamales are one of the specials, order them -- they're incredible). Tip: Always check the daily specials first, and be sure to ask for extra tortillas, no matter what you order.

Mexican food like you haven't eaten

There is a reason that Julia Childs was a fan of this little taqueria and that the lines of customers continue to wind out the door. The food is excellent, especially the Super Rica...
