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
