I am a big fan of Doce Taqueria.
It's a simple operation that provides good, quality, affordable, and quick food.
Tacos.
*they do have a couple other options, but for Pete's sake, it's a Taqueria.
$3 gets you a taco! I usually get 3 (my wife gets 2). They have chicken, beef, carnitas (pork), and veggie options. And they all have fresh toppings with a choice of corn or flour tortillas.
Get. The. Carnitas. They'll make you want to . . . Do-ce-do. (Corn Torillas all day)
Do they provide authentic Mexican tacos? It feels like it. There are very specific food carts I go to in our city to get the truly authentic Mexican taco experience, but I have to be honest...Doce keeps coming to mind.
I do wonder what happens on the 12th visit.
The inside is small but inviting. Bar-ish style seating. Day of the dead and generally bizarre decor that I like, right off of E Carson.
In the Southside and need a quality bite? Need to move quick? Need to take it to go or to sit in? Need a 12pm lunch spot. I mean...Doce makes it obvious! Eat there.
