"Sometimes you want good tacos, but you also need them fast—and that’s when you should head to Marcelino’s. For lunch there are mainstays like barbacoa and some excellent carne guisada, but it’s the breakfast tacos that we come here for. The tacos are scoop and serve and made assembly-line style right in front of you, with a seemingly endless array of classic fillings to choose from, plus a few we don’t see as often, like repollo asado (grilled cabbage), rajas (poblanos in cream), and the incredible papa ranchera (French fries tossed in salsas).
