The best tacqueria near my home, note it also serves fish and chips (OK), and subs (have not tried them). The carnitas are my favorite, then the barbacoa, the sauces bar is authentic as well. Do note it doesn’t feel like a tacqueria, rather like a converted Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips, which now serves tacos. That is because it is, extra points for that. Oh, and do not forget the tamales, definitely recommended.
In my experience the subs are unremarkable, but the hush puppies are surprisingly good!
