Tacos in Chinatown? Seems rather random but hey, why not.
There's a few clever details showing that La Capital Tacos is happily integrated in its multicultural neighbourhood: e.g. the melamine plates are decorated with chinese patterns, and a cute "lucha libre" fortune cat can be seen near the counter.
We went for an early lunch and immediately liked the large wooden tables and vintage look of the restaurant. It was a sunny day, and the dining room seemed cool and shady. We ordered tacos al Pastor and Rosarito, and "coco water", which was kind of a pina colada without alcohol. The plates came fairly fast and looked beautiful. Three tacos might not feel like a lot, but these had generous portions of meat. The shrimps in the Rosarito were tender and flavorful, and the shredded cabbage added volume and crunch to the dish. The pork from the al Pastor turned out a bit dry, so I relied on the sauces provided on the table (which were delicious). We weren't actually full after all this, but it was a very pleasant lunch. I think it might have been better if we went with friends and tried all of their different tacos!
