Festive Mexican eatery with sizzling fajitas & hangover cures
"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, with specialties like spare ribs marinated in salsa verde, soothing bowls of pozole and menudo, and a full breakfast menu (great for brunching). Strong cocktails, including enormous micheladas, are also served alongside options like ceviche-stuffed oysters, traditional breakfast specials, and whole-fried fish. Online ordering is available." - Serena Maria Daniels
"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
"For five weeks, El Nacimiento completely shut down due to the dining room closures, before returning for carryout-only service. “We were pretty busy for the carryout,” Padilla said..." - Brenna Houck
"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
