Tacos "El Compadre" Alias del Muerto

The 24 Best Restaurants in Monterrey, Mexico - Eater

"Better known as Tacos del Muerto for its proximity to the Dolores Cemetery, this street cart has been in operation for over 48 years, attracting an eclectic crowd for mañaneros (morning tacos) from 7 a.m. until closing at 3 p.m. Choose from the short list of fillings: gooey cabeza; pork shoulder; picadillo; beans with bacon, egg, and chorizo. There’s also chile relleno stuffed with cheese or meat. Feel free to order any of the options as a torta if you prefer, and when the server asks you if you want to add beans spread with pork fat, you say, “Yes, please.” Spoon on the powerful salsa borracha (drunken sauce) made from tomato cooked with chile and onion.
