Tortilleria la Nueva de Zacatecas

by

4241 McCart Ave., 817.921.0440 

Pull up to this taqueria and tortilla factory in south Fort Worth, part of the family-run Grupo La Nueva chain of local restaurants, and the writing is on the wall, literally. Etched on a window are the words: “We make the best tortillas, the best tacos, the best everything ... Be prepared to speak Spanish.” All good to know as you step inside this matchbox of a spot, where the roar of tortilla-making machines competes with the upbeat jangle of Spanish radio, creating a wall of sound so loud, you have to point to what you want on the menu, no matter your level of Spanish-speaking skill. Definitely point to the carne asada breakfast taco, made with tender bits of seasoned flank steak, and request it come on a freshly made corn tortilla. 

Good to know: There’s no seating; everything is to-go.
