"Border Town @ Commune / Sundays, 10am until sold out On Sundays, you'll find this small-batch tortilla maker at Commune, a Clinton Hill cafe, making chewy, lard-kissed tortillas, filled with things like chicharrones in salsa roja, and the smoothest, gentlest refried beans you’ve ever had. The line to order can be long, and the line to wait for your order even longer, but if you have time to kill, stick around for the $5 tacos. Their Sonoran wheat flour tortillas are also for sale at Big Night and Marlow & Daughters." - neha talreja
"There’s a good chance you won’t actually be able to eat these tacos today, because Border Town is a pop-up, and pop-ups are elusive. But it’s worth keeping an eye on their Instagram for residencies and events, because these small-batch tortilla makers turn out beautiful lard-kissed flour tortillas, and then stuff them with things like chicharrones in salsa roja, and the smoothest, gentlest refried beans we’ve ever had. If you can't possibly wait, Border Town’s tortillas are sold at Big Night, and Marlow & Daughters. They won’t quite measure up to the full experience, but anything you put in them instantly tastes good, even if you don't know how to scramble an egg.

"If you’ve ever woken up in a cold sweat, after another nightmare about how you’ve never experienced a truly great taco like they have in LA (which isn’t true, by the way), go to Border Town’s weekly Sunday pop-up at Commune, a Clinton Hill cafe. You’ll find the small-batch tortilla makers under a tent, making chewy, lard-kissed tortillas, filled with things like chicharrones in salsa roja, and the smoothest, gentlest refried beans you’ve ever had. On Thursday-Saturday mornings, you'll find them taking over Greenpoint ice cream store Screen Door. The line to order can be long, and the line to wait for your order even longer, but if you have two hours to kill, stick around for the $5 tacos. If you end up spending every waking moment afterwards thinking about those Sonoran wheat flour tortillas, you should know they’re for sale at Big Night, and Marlow & Daughters." - Willa Moore
