Up a short flight of stairs from Bonica is this small taco stand turning out five different and excellent fillings (priced between 25-40RMB) inside hand-rolled corn tortillas along with a cheese quesadilla (25RMB) and nachos (30-45RMB). Variations include octopus, birria (pulled lamb), Baja fish (with pan-seared seabass) and the always reliable Al Pastor. These are available all night long from 6pm until neighbours La Mezcaleria and La Barra close (around 2am or until the last guest has left).
