How to choose

Choose Cortez for birria and consommé, Juanito’s for a traditional taqueria backed by many reviews, Salsa Limón for breakfast, tacos, and a museum-area location, or El Arquito for groups wanting al pastor, birria, tortas, and plates. Guapo Taco was excluded because Google Maps listed it as permanently closed.
