Hacienda has their taco game on point!
Their using the classic combo of soft double corn tortillas, meat of choice, cilantro and onion but somehow they just do it better!
We ordered up al pastor, carne asada, chorizo, lengua and carnitas.
The al pastor came right off the spit and onto the griddle for a crisp before being slapped into the tortillas. The chorizo was crispy and juicy, and full of balanced flavor. The carnitas were so succulent and well seasoned. The tacos were just perfect.
Lengua, my usual favorite, was a bit gamy for my taste. Not terrible, but more strongly flavored than I'm used to. When it comes to carne asada I'm generally not a fan, but my wife enjoyed it.
The salsa bar here is off the charts awesome. I think everything has garlic in it, and it's delicious. The taquera salsa (Something like that) is a real shocker. It's light, a bit watery even, but it's so rich in flavor. Garlic and sweet tomato with the right heat. So many other great options.
I love that this is a market too. I went to the deli case and ordered guacamole and chicharron by the pound, grabbed some chips and a pint of ice cream and had a great dinner!
Looking forward to doing this again soon!
