La Taqueria

Arrive off-peak to avoid the crush at this delightful hole-in-the-wall and you’ll be able to grab a perch at the turquoise-colored counter. Listening to the grassroots Mexican soundtrack and kitchen staff chatting in Spanish is the perfect accompaniment to a few superbly prepared soft tacos: go for the four-part combo and choose from fillings like grilled fish, pork cheeks and house-marinated beef, with top-notch, locally sourced ingredients. Vegetarians have some tasty choices (the veggie combo is cheaper than the meat combo) and great-value quesadillas are also available. Save room for a glass of cinnamony horchata (a milkshake-style traditional beverage).
