Mr Taco Segovia

Top choice in Veracruz


Satisfying late-night munchies since 1996, this taco stand is a study in nose-to-tail eating, Mexico-style. Watch the guys fry up the tortillas and top them with suadero (cut of beef from between the belly and the leg), tripita (tripe), seso (brain) and more, and add some spice with homemade salsa.
