Mexican culture, crafts, candy, clothing, and authentic tacos
"A masa-grinding master from Oaxaca filled a taco vacancy inside Latin market La Cosecha with the 2024 opening of Apapacho. The taqueria from culinary couple Alam Méndez and Elisa Reyna slides into the sleek space left behind by Las Gemelas. The married duo most recently worked at D.C.’s Maiz 64, earning high praise for Méndez’s top-tier tortillas engineered with native Mexican corn and Reyna’s pastry skills. Apapacho’s headlining roster of tacos stars slow-cooked meats like al pastor, carne asada, and barbacoa, plus a vegetarian option (oyster mushrooms) to start. For drinks, look for (frozen) margaritas, mezcal cocktails, and Méndez’s personal favorite: micheladas." - Tierney Plumb
"Culinary couple Alam Méndez and Elisa Reyna brought their famous tortillas engineered with native Mexican corn to La Cosecha this summer. The flavorful tortillas and Reyna’s pastry skills first brought them acclaim at D.C.’s Maiz 64; now there are rotating conchas and plenty of different tacos celebrating their strengths. The crispy, cheese-filled Gringa taco, stuffed with al pastor and topped off with hunks of pineapple, should not be missed." - Emily Venezky
