"Salem is home to so many excellent Mexican places, it feels unfair to single out just one. Want tacos stuffed with crisp, juicy meat? Prepare to line-up for weekends-only El Ta’comelon. Are you a salsa fiend? Try Tacos El Pelon’s excellent ones. Craving birria de res like mom’s? Go eat at Rancho Miramar. At Diego and Itzel Sagastume’s El Ranchero Market, a grocery and attached cafe, you can get a little bit of everything: taco Tuesday deals, homey bowls of pozole, trendy quesabirria, and family meal deals on mesquite grilled chicken, plus tortillas and house-made chorizo for tomorrow’s breakfast." - Emily Teel
