Hey sweet potatoes! ๐ โจ Itโs your faithful Food Inspector Dandan ๐ฅธ๐ฎ, and today Iโm taking you to try a super authentic and lively Mexican taco joint in Albuquerque โ El Paisa! This place specializes in beef tacos. Itโs literally a paradise for meat lovers. ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐ El Paisa The exterior gives off major local vibes โ no fancy decor, but the moment you step inside, the aroma of grilled meat hits you. The atmosphere is so real! ๐โจ ๐ฎ Barbacoa Taco (Braised Lamb Taco) My absolute #1 pick! ๐ The lamb is slow-cooked until itโs incredibly tender and flavorful. One bite and the juices just burst in your mouth ๐คค. Topped with their fresh onions, cilantro, and spicy sauce โ itโs a match made in heaven. I instantly ordered another one after finishing the first. โก๐ฅ ๐ฎ Lengua Taco (Beef Tongue Taco) If youโre usually hesitant about tongue, donโt be! El Paisa cleans and prepares theirs perfectly ๐ โ zero weird taste. The texture is tender and slightly chewy, and itโs seriously satisfying with a squeeze of lime ๐. Refreshing and not greasy at all. Hidden king alert! ๐ ๐ฎ Asada Taco (Grilled Beef Taco) The beef is grilled to a slight char โ so aromatic and chewy in the best way. Each bite is packed with real beef flavor ๐ฏ. Served in a corn tortilla, itโs a perfect combo. Youโll want more after just one! ๐ฝ๐ฅฉ ๐ช Environment Rating: 3.8/5 sweet potatoes ๐ No-frills, no Instagram aesthetics โ just honest, street-style vibes ๐.
