Stops:
- Fat Peach Bakery – first time here, got the strawberry milk croissant. Really good, but I regret skipping their atomic cake special (they said it might be back next week) 4.5 / 5
- Cadinho Bakery & Café – pastel de nata = a highlight of the day. 5 / 5
- La Chaparrita Taqueria – carne asada taco. Delicious but I wish the beef was diced. 4.5 / 5
- Lucido’s Tacos – al pastor taco + free chips & salsa. Good taco, but the chips were pretty mediocre. I'd come back for their $2 al pastor taco special on Mondays from 12 pm – 5 pm though. 4 / 5
- Asian Cuisine Express – al pastor taco. Another good taco, but I was expecting a little more from this place given all of the praise I've seen on this subreddit. I think they have a Monday $1.50 al pastor taco special. 4.25 / 5
- Carniceria Maribel – carne asada taco. Favorite taco of the day. I think it's pretty much the perfect carne asada taco. 5 / 5
- El Milagro Tortillas – carne asada taco + chicken tamale with salsa verde. The mound of toppings on the taco were a bit over the top. Solid overall, tortilla was excellent. 4 / 5
- La Michoacana – mangonada. First time trying one. Sweet, tangy, spicy, refreshing. 4 / 5
- Rubi’s Tacos – al pastor taco. Another solid taco. I think this was the most expensive taco of the crawl, but it was a pretty good portion. 3.75 / 5
Final stats:
- 6 tacos
- 3 dessert stops
- 9 miles walked
Best carne asada: Carniceria Maribel
Best al pastor (not this crawl, but still my favorite in the city): El Tragon Taqueria
For all of my visual people who are interested in the trek, this map includes all of my stops plus a few other taco places that didn't make the cut.
Thanks u/njv002 for your taco crawl post used for inspiration. I've been waiting to do this until the weather got a bit better.
