Tripitas Tacos Alone Make Trip Worthwhile
So many tasty options on the menu, at affordable prices ($18 pesos is ~$1 USD per taco!!!), in charming space.I was lucky to be able to squeeze in a quick lunch before my flight: I originally tried for the closer location in hotel zone, but they didn't open til closer to noon. Tried:-Tacos: pastor, campechano, cabeza, tripitas-Queso fundido: with chuleta and longaniza-Guanabana agua frescaLOVED:-Tripitas taco: flavor bombs of tender tripe with fried pieces thrown in for crunch (so good I ordered 3 more to go)-Queso fundido hot melted cheesy deliciousness topped with super juicy tender fatty pork chop and sausage-Guanabana agua frescaWanted to try cow brain taco as well, but they didn't have it when I went unfortunately. Got there just past 11am on a Tuesday, asked my taxi driver to join since he was kind enough to stick around, knowing I was on a time crunch to get back to fetch my luggage before heading to the airport - and we were only a handful of tables (this location closes at noon), service was friendly and quick and the food was phenomenal.Adding this to my list of must stops when in the area, and hoping to have more time on the next trip to explore the other supermanzanas / mercados in the area as well!
