When tacos range from 50-95 pesos ($2.50 to almost 5 bucks! Most $2.50-3.50) you gotta be skeptical.
Especially when you have amazing street and taqueria options multiple times on every block.
This is a spot called El Itacate in Salyulita recommended by as Mexican a guy as they get (totally cool dude, Chido is it? He’s a lifelong resident of San Pancho 12 min up the road, is a Barber, connected to the artist and kinda alt community there, his GF is an artist from GDL who is best friends with my GF)… so hardly a tourist recommendation.
When I saw the prices I was like this is stupid, but we were there and the girls (both also as Mexa as it gets) were down.
Service sucked, but damn these were amazing tacos. I purposely steered away from options like carnitas and others that I should be getting at a stand at the side of the road and it paid off.
Chorizo (chunks of sausage not the ground chorizo), pork chop tacos, and I splurged on the 4 buck ribeye. They were different than any taco I’ve ever had and I mean that in a very good way.
Definitely appeals to tourists but anyone who enjoys quality food that’s a little unique should enjoy this – and one taco was literally the amount of meat as 3-4 street tacos so the prices were high but value was pretty solid. I’d def go again despite crappy service

Maybe it’s just me, but it irks me when people complain when food in Mexico is not dirt cheap.
Yo those look huge! Tbh I think I could maybe get through one. Willing to try, though. They look amazing!
This may seem a super stupid question but it’s only recently I have noticed lots of pcitures of tacos that are ‘double wrapped’. I noticed it in a Rick Bayliss vid the other day.
Is this the usual way of serving a taco – with two tortillas?

Def check out the Al Pastor stand by the bridge, Tacos El Ivan. He opens at night mostly.
in sayulita go to the street food couple of blocks behind the main plaza kiosk.
if you go to the restaurants close to the beach you will get tourist prices.
a taco like that would cost less than a dollar for a local resident.
Never happened to me, as i never eat in tourist traps. If i don’t find the price reasonable, i stand up and walk away.
