13 Tacos and Taps

Mexican restaurant · Raleigh

@eater

"Fusion tacos are the star here, with perhaps one of the most unique taco menus in the Triangle. Try the Moo Moo III (seared filet mignon with rajas), the Red Bird (an achiote-marinated chicken adobado), or the Porky Asia (smoked pork belly with cabbage and apple relish). The 13th Taco is a constantly changing chef’s special, and recently was a take on tacos de canasta (basket tacos), featuring seared Gulf shrimp inside three corn tortillas, grilled in the style of birria tacos and served with arroz crema and cowboy style beans." - Matt Lardie
