Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this humble taqueria got a fancy facelift when, after 16 years, it moved across downtown in January into a new, from-the-ground-up building. As he did at his original spot, owner Rogelio Aguilar continues to do everything the hard way here, elevating his taco-driven menu beyond typical Tex-Mex. The backbone of a good taco is the tortilla, and Aguilar makes both his corn and flour from scratch throughout the day. His award-winning salsa, full of spice and secrets, is assiduously prepared, taking patience and hours to make. Even the horchata is made by hand.

“People can tell the difference in what's fresh and what isn't,” he says. “That's what's kept us in business all these years.”

You Gotta Try: Aside from the tacos, give the fajita egg breakfast plate a spin. It’s comprised of scrambled eggs mixed with your choice of beef or chicken fajita meat, fried potatoes, refried beans and those dynamite flour tortillas.
