Taqueria Los Reyes

Quiet taquería with handmade tortillas, a salsa bar and not-too-sweet aguas frescas. The parrillada for two and adobada stand out.

Taco stand · Centro

Pedritos

A father-and-son evening stand on Calle Gaviotas, open 7 to 11pm, known for shrimp tacos cooked on the grill rather than fried, with a spicy red salsa. Grilled beef tacos too; a little dearer than other stands, and worth it.
