| - I recently took a road trip to Ensenada, Mexico with five other "Amigos" for a bachelor party solely for either a good donkey show or the best street taco stands that we can find. And by good fortune we pinpointed the best Adobada Tacos during our taco stand-hopping. Sooo much that we pigged out at this particular station 3 times during our short visit.
Fast forward to the other day the now, newly-wed guy (i don't know what they call them but he's married now and fucked for life) told me he discovered a place that has the most closest and most authentic Adobada Tacos similar to that stand in Encenada. Heck yea!
So after a long night of work I cruised down Charleston just east of the strip and from that adventure alone i felt like i was back in Ensenada. Grimy and full of blehhh with taco shop at every corner.
Once I've entered I was greeted by the first guy behind the counter, "What's up my friend!?" His attitude was so enthusiastic that I felt welcome in a surrounding that i wouldn't normally ventured alone in. I'm from an Asian decent and the only Spanish my amigo friends taught me are insults that you can only say to your.. friends.
1st counter-dood basically gave me the low down of how to order. It's a bit confusing, but you'll first have to grab a red tray and choose your taco guy depending on what kind of meat you want. There's actually 4 different taco guy you can order from, but seriously, you only want to talk to the first guy because he has what you're looking for. Adobada, son!
Adobada is pork that is slowly roasted with a red chili sauce, spices, and vinegar. Kind of remind me of Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) but without the sweetness.
You have a choice of corn (double) or flour tortilla. He'll edge off a few slice or pork and dice them up for you on a flat, table fryer thingy and ask if you want everything on it (onions, cilantro, and avocado sauce).
I order 4 of those as well as a Chorizo Taco, and Beef Quesadilla loaded. All on corn tortilla except the Quesadilla on flour.
Payment would be best after you received your food, so you can get drinks and napkins. They also have a side bar with radish and limes to accompany your tacos. And lastly the 4th taco guy (usually a female) have grilled green onions and peppers to go along with your meal as well. A squeeze of fresh lime over the taco and you've pretty much got the closest thing to Mexico's street taco's minus the hot sauce.
The Chorizo was surprising not oily like i've had before. I would consider this authentic too. Also the beef quesadilla was not bad either! I love the cheese in the quesadilla!
I'm not claiming any expertise, but this is really good stuff. My only other achievements are Roberto's, Amigo Tacos, and a few highly overrated, upper scale Mexican restaurant around town. None worth mentioning.
