Tacos so good youd think they from the Mexican travel vendor, even if you have been in Madrid.

Taquera Mi Ciudad. Thats what the pointer said.

It wasnt in the manual as well as it wasnt on the map, though we saw it while on foot towards the Opera metro as well as motionless to give it the shot. Id eaten some tourist-ready, drab Mexican in Madrid before, yet this near-dive joint looked promising. In the approach which usually near-dive joints can.

Inside? Transformational, life-changing tacos.

OK, so maybe thats the bit much, though thats how the food strike me. Why? Because somehow the judgment of the cheap, elementary taco has turn bastardized as the recipe goes around the world. These were the real thing, not the Spanish estimation of what the Taco Bell-eatin American would like.

There were usually three filling choices as far as we was concerned; the thick, smoky Pollo Mole, the spicy/sweet Rojo with pumpkin seed as well as one hell of the Cochinita Pibil (a citrus-soaked pork). Ive since had those three tacos 5 times, creation excuses to make use of Madrid as the heart on trips through Spain. we have left to surprising lengths to have their taste sensations put my buds in the sleeper hold.

The tacos have been rebuilt before your eyes, right at the 8 chair bar, inside the room which couldn't fit more than twenty people at capacity. The fillings have been pulled from refrigerated Tupperware as well as total with hotplate-warmed tortillas.

There's no resplendence as well as business or frilly garnish. Just darned tasty, slapped-together food done from real Mexican recipes.

The guys who work here have been happy as well as charming, roug! hly diff ident which we could adore their food enough to come back for it twice. They definitely don't get most English speakers. I've never seen the place without at least 10 people inside, mostly local Spanish foodies who know what great Mexican food tastes like.

At 1.50 the taco, it's between Madrids best bargains. The 5 margaritas have been creatively rebuilt as well as not from the brew they rival the food in authenticity.
