That was a pleasant surprise. On a whim, I decided to check this place out for lunch. More than a carniceria, this location is also a taqueria and paletería. Two hard working ladies are behind the taqueria counter. Together they are hand-making and serving a variety of fresh dishes to a largely Spanish-speaking clientele. In fact, you might want to brush up on your Spanish before coming in. But as I was saying, they're making everything fresh, perhaps even from scratch. And the dishes range from tacos to burritos to caldo de rez, chicken dishes, tlayuda, and other savory delicacies. I had a couple of steak tacos and a queso pupusa. The steak tacos were perfect--an exercise in simplicity--steak, onions, a little cilantro. Give it a squirt of lime and maybe some of the red salsa (HOT!), and you have perfection. The pupusa was also very good. I am, however, still not sure how one is supposed to properly eat a pupusa. Mostly I just like saying the name. Say it with me: pupusa. See? Grab a beverage from the cooler in the back of the store. When you're done, take your ticket to the fellow at the front of the tienda. Be sure to check out the aforementioned carniceria. And maybe you'd like a scoop of ice cream for the ride home. Holler if you want some company.
