Authentic pork tacos, tortas, gorditas, open late, breakfast all day
"El Tacorrido has multiple locations around town, and more likely than not there will be a line of cars backed up in the drive-thru because yes, the tacos are that good (as are the actually spicy salsas). The breakfast tacos might not win any awards, but they’re consistent, dependable, and very affordable. We’re most impressed with their dedication to the many varieties of pork-based tacos, including a textbook carnitas taco and the revuelta taco—a triumvirate that combines cuerita, buche, and carnitas, all into a textural and flavorful triumph. What to get: Carnitas taco; Revuelta taco" - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"El Tacorrido has multiple locations around town, and more likely than not there will be a line of cars backed up in the drive-thru waiting to get their hands on excellent tacos, tortas, and gorditas. Options include just about every classic filling you can imagine inside of a tortilla (or bolillo), but pork is where El Tacorrido shines. We usually gravitate towards the revuelta—a mix of pork shoulder, skin, and stomach that’s everything craveable during the late hours of the night. And if you’re not ready to call it a night yet, you can also get breakfast tacos here all day long. Open until 2am Mon-Thu, 3am Fri-Sun. Other locations may vary. " - nicolai mccrary

"El Tacorrido has multiple locations around town, and more likely than not there will be a line of cars backed up in the drive thru. The breakfast tacos are consistent, dependable, and very affordable. While they have the standard red and green salsas, there's also the spicy and rich molcajete salsa, made with roasted tomato, jalapenos, and serranos. We’re most impressed with their dedication to a wide diversity of pork-based tacos, including a textbook carnitas taco and the revuelta taco, a triumvirate that combines cuerita, buche, and carnitas. photo credit: Raphael Brion" - Raphael Brion
