La fogota, Baja's, California taco, tons of mom and pop shops especially right outside prov or on west and south side -- if the menu is in Spanish, a kid is running around or no prices are listed you found a gem

Avoid gringo flats and gentrified Tallulah's they r mid and $$ af lol only rich white people go there

California Taco Shop by the hospital is the GOAT; all the others are hit or miss

Oh I’m all for the shitty looking hole in the wall shops. The best Mexican food I’ve had was in this old shopping strip. Out dated building. No AC - they literally had a barn fan in the restaurant. Was still sweating my ass off, but damn. Best food I have ever had.

Fancy Mexican places are usually terrible, I think most Texans prefer the hole in the walls. Thank you!!!

Seriously you want El Taconazo. Abuela runs the show. They have Pombazos and the salsa roja is so so hot.
