Barbacoa Santiago — Restaurant in Querétaro

La Barbacoa de Santiago is pure soul food — the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. These are, without a doubt, my favorite tacos in all of Mexico. It’s a humble, traditional spot right on the side of the road, but every bite tells a story of flavor, tradition, and care. If you’re ever feeling rough, their barbacoa broth is pure healing — the kind of recipe that wakes you up and comforts your soul. The tortillas are packed with flavor, and every plate you try feels like it carries a personal stamp of quality. Simple, honest, unforgettable — a true taste of Mexico at its very best.

I'd go back more often if it wasn't so far away. Strongly...
