Redwood city is full of taquerias and taco trucks (similar to Fruitvale/International in Oakland.) Middlefield Street reminds me of Mexico without the little kids asking you to buy gum. It's lined with taquerias that still cost $1.00 for a taco! With over 50 Mexican temptations for cheap eats all within a 15 minute driving radius, how could I not say challenge accepted?
From top left, clockwise: Al pastor, carne asada, birria, chorizo |
I have a standard order of tacos whenever I'm trying someplace new: carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor. Sometimes if they have it I'll order birria, tripe, or lengua. This taqueria surprisingly did have birria so I did had that into the mix. $1 tacos here!
At first glance, I did notice that the tacos are single tortilla only. This is pretty upsetting for me since I prefer 2 tortillas with a slightly longer griddle. These corn tortillas were really thin and kinda floppy. All the meats were pretty tasteless except for the birria. Really flavorful and tender I would actually come back for a birria plate.
