La Tejana Taqueria · St. Ann
At this St. Ann counter, the chorizo taco is seared until spicy and crisp on a corn tortilla. The hefty but airy chips come fresh from the fryer with a smoky salsa. Order both.
Taqueria El Bronco · Cherokee Street
This Cherokee Street taqueria serves al pastor and chorizo tacos on double corn tortillas with onion and cilantro. The al pastor is juicy, spicy and sweet with pineapple; the chorizo is salty and seared. Brain tacos offer another option.
Fonda La Poblanita · Bevo Mill
The machete is a large oval tortilla filled with cheese and squash blossoms. Ask for a squash-blossom taco if you prefer that form. Al pastor comes on fresh corn tortillas with pork sweetened by a generous amount of pineapple.
El Milagro Azteca · Bevo Mill
Executive chef Carlos Hernandez makes quesabirria from his mother's recipe. Brisket and sirloin marinate overnight with cumin, clove, peppercorn, garlic and toasted guajillo, then pressure-cook for at least eight hours until the meat nearly shreds. Corn tortillas heat in broth oil with jack and Chihuahua cheeses. Dip an order of three in consome.
El Jarocho · Valley Park
Miguel and Nikky Cortez run this taqueria and store beside their longtime El Nopal. The barbacoa uses shoulder rather than brisket, served juicy and charred on double corn tortillas with fried green onions. Order it with diced lengua and choose among verde, avocado and red salsas.
