About this spot
Tucked away in the heart of Downtown (El Centro), Tacos Express serves up no-frills, street-style Mexican food that feels authentically local rather than touristy. You should dive straight into their signature al pastor tacos, which feature marinated pork on a vertical spit with fresh pineapple and cilantro.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for the 'salsa verde' to be served on the side if you prefer your tacos less spicy.
- Bring cash only, as this small spot in El Centro often does not accept credit cards.
- Order the 'quesadilla de chicharron' as a quick, crispy snack while waiting for your main order.
