Mi Taco

Rittiman & I35

Mi Taco is a great first stand to take your cautious friend to. This stand appear sanitary and offers hand sanitizer. I recommend the Jarritos here. They are the cheapest Jarritos I have found. They sell for a mere $1.50. The Mexican Coke is advertised at $2.00 but my friend snagged one for $1.50. This stand also features a full color menu. The salsa is spicy but has a delayed reaction. It’s a decent stand but didn’t top the charts for awesomeness. You can find it in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station.

El Queretano

210-902-7047
At the corner of Perrin Beitel & Sun Shadow

El Queretano is named after the Mexican state nestled in the center of Mexico. They have the same hospitality you would find in the heart of Mexico--you can take that any way you’d like. I got one of the chefs, Victor, to show me around the stand. He told me its history and asked if I was a tourist. They serve the asada with cucumbers which negates the need to purchase a drink. The cucumbers are crisp and cool.

This stand, like many other stands, offers a 4 taco platter with barracho beans for $5.00. The barracho beans are great on a cold day. They are made with pork back. This gives them a fantastic almost indescribable flavor. To locate this stand, look for the flashing strobe light.

Las Takuches offers what I like to call "healthy tacos". They taste nice but don't satisfy my need for grease. The stand is festive. It is complete with Christmas window decals and flashing neon rainbow lights (there's a gay bar down the road). The salsa is top notch. It's perfect for the delicate taste bud. This stand is open relatively early compared to other stands I've visited. My friends and I hit this one up at 10:15pm--no problem. And yes, they do serve Mexican Coke. It's $2.00 here. I've found it for cheaper at other stands though. The server seemed shy and only semi bilingual. If you check this stand out you better start practicing your Spanglish. However, if you understand the phrase "Yeah, hi. Un asada porfavor" then you're ready to go.
