I came back with the BF after the good intro to this place during Nelson's taco crawl UYE. This was the best of the night, but since it was the first we just got 1 taco when we should have just eaten here and gotten one taco everywhere else.
This time around it was a bit cold so we ate in our parked car, but that didn't hinder the experience at all. We also went and got aguas frescas at La Flor Michoacan to go with. This isn't what most people would be doing on Valentines day, but it was every bit us and no pressure at all. We're having a tough week so that's the last thing we needed.
We both got some of the al pastor, of course, and that is still just as juicy, savory and delicious as last time.
Cabeza tacos here are fantastic too! This might be our favorite actually. I'm generally partial to cabeza and I'm telling you this is one of the best I've had in Vegas.
Chorizo - this was good too. It wasn't greasy as most places do it, but still juicy and they crisp it up a bit so the texture is really nice.
Lengua - very good lengua. Some places it can be rather gelatinous fattiness or overcooked. This was juicy, tender, good seasoning and not any of that gelly that the BF gets turned off by.
There is no forgettable meat here at all. Just because they are known for their spit carved pastor doesn't mean the rest is a afterthought. No, sirreee, everything is good! The tortillas here are homemade and have perfect bite and flavor.
I love all their 3 salsas, I am glad it is DIY topping station and I can alternate salsas in each bite as I find each brings out a different flavor to the meat. The salsas are rather spicy, specially the chunky green one. Do not pile that on thinking it's guacamole if you don't like it spicy.
This parking lot taco shack is attached to a house. I have right mind to move in and make who ever the owner of this place my abuelo. Best tacos in Vegas. Seriously. And I hate making "best of" declarations but there isn't anything comparable here. This is on par to places I grew up eating at in CA and in Mexico.
