El Super Taco Mexicano

We stopped in after a hike at Turkey Creek Nature Preserve. This place is easy to zip right by, or if you notice it (or its more conspicuous neighbors, the pawn shop and Dollar General), you might think to pass. You’d be mistaken. It is definitely a hole in the wall, no frills in terms of atmosphere, and cheap ($ 2 tacos!). The food, though, is outstanding. This is a place to get authentic Mexican. We ordered the huarache with chicken, the steak torta, and a «super taco». The huarache came with diced seasoned chicken, lettuce, cheese, slices of perfectly ripe avocado, beans, bits of tomato and cilantro. This all sat atop a freshly made corn tortilla. When the woman who took our orders disappeared for several minutes in the back kitchen, it turned out this was what she got busy doing – making these corn tortillas from scratch – before she set to work on the other stuff. Incredible, and worth the wait. The green salsa on top worked well. The steak torta came topped with much of the same, and a similar tortilla, except thicker. Picture the huarache like a Mexican flatbread, whereas the torta is more like a deep-​dish style crust. Both were amazing, but the real winner was the super taco, the priciest taco on the menu at $ 2.50. It had a few different types of meat in it (though the pastor — pork — was the winning meat by a long shot). This taco also had guacamole, crema, cilantro and tomatoes on it. It was gorgeous, and that fresh warm corn tortilla again just made it. This is a place where it won’t necessarily be fast, but the food is definitely made with love. Note: this place takes cash only.

The décor, menus and signs are nothing fancy, but they don’t need to be. Order at the counter. I thought the tortillas they used could be a little better, but the super tacos were very good.
They brought a hot sauce in a squeeze container. When I was done, I saw that someone else also had a green hot sauce on their table, so maybe ask for different sauces when you get your tacos.
