This is the quintessential Mexican dish down to its purest perfection. The dish is very simple and addicting. The cooks start with a small warm round corn tortilla, add some carne asada (or your meat of choice), and throw on some diced onions mixed with cilantro. That’s it. Oh, I forgot the special ingredient—the salsa. Watch out, the red salsa creeps up on you. It’s very spicy, but unbelievably good. Ask for the green one or just completely to the side if you’re risk averse.

Once you start, you’ll start ordering a few of these…often.

This is the same as the soft taco, except this comes on a crispy corn tortilla at the bottom and crumbly Mexican cheese on top. Equally exceptional. Try it with beer.

This dish is perhaps the best dish I’ve tasted so far. It’s very addicting. This is basically a sopa, except buried inside with the meat are a slice of tomato, avocado, Mexican sour cream (crema), and sweet(!) and moist white onion slices in the middle. The result is a series of crispy, meaty, sweet, and cheesy bites. Add some of the red salsa on it, and you’ve got something really special. I personally would highly recommend getting this.
