Born and raised Mexican here so I know what an authentic meal is. Im in town visiting and read about some good tacos from next door (I honestly wasn’t coming to la torta loca but the place I was going to was still closed at 12:25) so I ended up here. Best decision ever. I had the barbacoa consomé (lamb broth) and a barbacoa taco and they were AMAZING. Pretty much just as good as they are back in Mexico City. The portions are HUGE.

All the various types of tortillas & even the sour cream were homemade, & the meats were so flavorful, I didn't need any sauce, & I'm usually soaking things in condiments! The green & red sauces were very spicy which appeals to a lot of people.
