"Tacos Del Barrio is the perfect spot when you’re looking for a lunch that has no misses—this counter-service spot makes the best Mexico City-style tacos in the city. Achiote-seasoned pastor spins on the spit in the back, asada is perfectly charred on all sides, and the plump, creamy fish will teleport you straight to Baja. But before you sit down, head straight to the salsa bar that’s full of the smokiest and freshest salsas around. You’ll be carrying at least 12 little salsa cups back to your table, so hope your juggling skills are up to par." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
