El Mexicano Deli y Taqueria

"In a neighborhood replete with taquerias, always-bustling El Mexicano (at some point rebranded from its former name, Los Mexicanos) stands out for its all-around consistency — there isn’t really a badly executed meat on the menu (though the suadero, the al pastor, and the cueritos, or braised pork skin, are paricular standouts), and the burritos are just as reliably tasty as the tacos. This is also home to some of the best tortas in the city — specifically a gut-busting carnitas number that’s overstuffed with tender, crispy-edged pork and fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado." - Luke Tsai, Eater Staff

"El Mexicano (or Los Mexicanos, as it was previously known, though it appears to still be run by the same friendly folks) is one of the most reliable taco spots in a city full of great taco spots. But the best thing on the menu might be this gut-busting carnitas torta, a sandwich best split with a friend or ordered when you’ve got an especially large appetite. This monster of a sandwich comes overstuffed with tender, crispy-edged pork and fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado, and it tastes especially delicious when you drizzle some of the taqueria’s good red salsa over the filling periodically." - Luke Tsai

The restaurant is open for takeout 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and it’s offering delivery service via Postmates." - Luke Tsai
