Taqueria Ranchos La Delicias

A wide choice of cuts on Niagara Street

Taqueria Ranchos La Delicias makes individual tacos the center of a much larger Mexican kitchen. Corn is the standard tortilla, with flour available as an extra. That gives a mixed order a consistent base while the fillings change from grilled steak to lengua, tripe, cecina, shrimp or tilapia.

The menu identifies its barbacoa as beef brisket marinated with Mexican spices. Pastor uses marinated pork tips with pineapple and onion, while carnitas combines fried pork, onion and spices. Ground beef is listed separately from asada. Those descriptions make it possible to order by preparation rather than treating every beef or pork taco as equivalent. Sour cream and shredded cheese are extras, allowing a simpler taco to stay simple.

Birria can be ordered as one taco or as three with consommé, rice and beans. The larger plate is a full meal rather than the same portion as a few individual tacos. Tortas change to bread with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, potato, jalapeño, cheese and beans; fillings include asada, chicken, carnitas, pastor and cecina. Seafood plates, soups, enchiladas and parrilladas make the restaurant workable for a table whose members want different dishes.
