| - I'm from out of state and while driving by, their sign caught my attention and decided to stop by and give them a try. Their claim of having the best tacos de Cabeza al vapor is not quite there, then again, compared to what and according to whose palate. Although I've travelled all over the American Continent, my tongue may also be off from time to time. But not on tacos, I'm always down for tacos, especially los de cabeza. In my humble opinion NOTHING COMPARES to the ones served throughout Old Mexico. However, we are also talking about different ingredients. From the flavor of the tortilla, the gentle dipping into fatty substances to enhance the flavor, the special meat with a little extra "marveling", onions, cilantro, limon and the unique salsa; made with GREEN TOMATILLO and Serrano or JalapeƱo chiles. NOT red, NOT pinkish or brownish, GREEN!! . The salsa verde IS extremely essential for a great taco de cabeza, and this is where "Taqueria El Vaporcito" failed miserably. It is very evident they do not know this. They use an habanero based salsa that completely eliminates any flavorful goodness their tacos may have. Yes it is hot, so what! Salsa does not need to be extremely hot to be good but it does have to complement the dish being served on and, thanks to Mother Nature, if it happens to be hot, then the more the merrier. They do have a good potential of being better than those in the immediate area however, they may have to rethink their salsa pairing in order to stay ahead, no pun intended. Oh, and maybe take time to listen when a customer asks for 2 tacos instead of 4... Good luck!
