Tacos Tumbras

Acapulco


A long-time favorite of the carnivorously inclined, this local taquería chain has been around forever and it's still the pre- or post-clubbing stop for those intent on painting the town red. Choose from filled tacos (al pastor are the best) or opt for bistec (slab of beef), with supporting cast of pico de gallo salsa, sweet grilled scallions and dark, piquant chili sauce.
