Mexican restaurant · Greater Heights

"There is something about eating a plate of smoky fajita beef smothered in cheese and spicy salsa around 11pm, especially if it’s being enjoyed off the hood of your car in front of El Taconazo. The Mexican food truck on the northside may not have any tables or chairs, but it does have lengua quesadillas, al pastor tacos, and pepper-stewed charro beans with your choice of griddled meats. No matter the time of day, the line never ends, as each would-be taco pilgrim is replaced by another person waiting to glimpse their slice of nirvana, preferably delivered in trompo form." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
