Carnita taco on freshly made tortilla at Taqueria El Rey del Taco

Succulent hunks of slow-cooked pork carnitas with just a hint of barbecue bite are nestled with chopped cilantro and onion onto corn tortillas hechas a mano by the resident abuela. Alternate bites with a dollop of the neon-green avocado salsa or the salsa roja to amp up the flavors and wash it down with a michelada, Mexican beer poured over spicy, citrusy tomato juice. $2.?

STILL THE ONE: Taqueria El Rey del Taco’s carnita taco on freshly made tortilla was featured in the 2011 edition of 100 Dishes to Eat Before You Die
