"When nursing a crudo from a night out on the town, Taqueria el Nacimiento offers an array of soothing caldos like pozole, menudo, and siete mares — a seafood stew bursting with shrimp and octopus — the ideal cure for what ails you. Top off a nourishing meal with one of the spot’s enormous micheladas, including the michelada botanera — served with chilled shrimp." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This family-owned establishment is a Southwest neighborhood mainstay, not the least because it stays open late on weekends. True to the town of El Nacimiento, for which it’s named, the restaurant serves Mexican food in a family-friendly atmosphere. Strong cocktails, including enormous micheladas, also are served alongside options like ceviche-stuffed oysters, traditional breakfast specials, and whole fried fish." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Open 'til 11 p.m. on weeknights and 11:30 pm. on weekends, Nacimiento serves plenty of hangover-busting plates including chimichangas, burritos, and bowls of menudo." - Brenna Houck
"Taqueria y Cenaduria Triangulo Dorado recently opened inside the former El Caribeño space serving Sinaloan vampiros." - Brenna Houck
