Some can be fatty or tough, so check the grill to see the quality of beef. They are served at almost every taco stand. Tacos de carne asada (grilled beef) are the most popular evening taco around. They’ll come with all the trimmings, and lots of freshly made tortillas, hot off the comal. Make sure you ask for maciza, the leanest variety. You may also order carnitas to go by the kilo. For carnitas, it usually pays to eat at a stand that specializes in preparing only pork. Some taco stands will have carnitas on the menu while specializing in beef tacos (tacos de carne asada). Carnitas stands are generally open in the day and closed evenings. Try them with chopped onion and cilantro and your choice of salsa, dressed however you like. One of the absolute best tacos to try if you eat pork is tacos de carnitas maciza (lean pork cooked in pork fat). Some menus feature tacos de tripa (tripe) and tacos de cabeza (cow’s head), both acquired tastes. The tongue is slow cooked with spices and served with a choice of salsa tomatillo (like small green tomatoes) with serranos, or the delicious chile arbol or guajillo. If you are adventurous, tacos de lengua (tongue) are a Mexican delicacy, so you should give them a try. In the evening, seafood and fish tacos are not offered, and stands serve beef, pork, and to some extent, chicken tacos. They are absolutely superb, especially with guajillo chile salsa, slightly spicy with a smoky flavor. At the taco stand I frequent, a succulent butterflied shrimp taco with all the trimmings is a deal at twenty pesos.
Salsas will range from raw salsa Mexicana with fresh tomatoes, onion, serrano peppers and cilantro (coriander leaves), to slow-cooked salsa de chile colorado and salsa con chile arbol y chile guajillo. Tacos de pescado (fish) and tacos de camaron (shrimp) or callo (scallop) are usually served deep-fried in a light batter accompanied with shredded cabbage and a choice of salsas, with a squeeze of lime topped with cream. It sounds strange but is actually delicious, very filling, and cheaper than the fish and shrimp varieties. Machaca (reconstituted shredded dried beef) is also a midday offering. Depending on the taco stand, mornings and lunchtime until mid afternoon are when you are likeliest to get a good fish (pescado) or shrimp (camaron) taco. There are an endless variety of tacos with fillings as simple as fresh fish (pescado) to the more exotic huitlacoche (corn smut) and flor de calabaza (squash blossom). There’s nothing better than a warm chewey tortilla made fresh right in front of you. You’ll generally be offered a choice of corn or flour tortillas and some stands make their own tortillas from scratch.
Larger stands will usually offer more varieties of tacos and salsas but a most are known for one or two types of tacos and that is all they serve. or so, and stay open late, some past midnight. Yes, we eat tacos for breakfast! Evening taco stands do not get going until six p.m.
