Mi Flor de Jalisco

I was 100% a fan of their $ 2 Sopes until my neighbors told me about eating a Burrito with a non-​edible ingredient. But if I’m being honest (& my check-​ins can attest to this), I’ll still end up getting a Sope or two (or a burrito) from there because the grub is that good.

Simple and to the point: this place serves tasty Mexican food. The pork dishes are to me the litmus of any Mexican food service, and the al pastor and carnitas are amazing, but other meats, including those typical but slightly exotic for pedestrian tastes are excellent. If you are willing to go a bit on the dark side they offer up a steak nachos dish that does not shy away from using spiced nacho cheese sauce and is served on thick steak fries instead of chips. Fortunately they also serve up a little plastic bag of jalapeños, jalapeño carrots, and radishes to cut through the grease, but you will still die of clogged arteries if you order the steak fries too often. Simply a delicious and unpretentious dive into the glories of Mexican taco truck eating.
I would be remiss not to mention the following for those who may wander into this review without an understanding of the neighborhood in question: Get ready for the smell of grease and rubber because the food is served up in a tire store parking lot, crack whores wandering by, and people smoking cigarettes while setting up deals from mobile phones on the nearby corner. But you are not eating here, you are getting your food and eating it at another location, perhaps sitting by the creek at the Arroyo Viejo Park nearby…
