Taqueria el resbalon
Taco restaurant
👍👍 These tacos al pastor were amazing. The salsa was a nice mild to medium spicy and creamy addition and the pastor meat had some kind of unique spice I couldn’t place that made these tacos memorable and crave-able. The tacos were all $2.50-$3 each and I will definitely be back for these!

Our dining companions also had the f...

👍👍 Ok, just YUM! We tried Barbacoa last night because we'd heard good things about their cocktail menu, and we left as big fans of everything from the molé to the martinis. 👏👏 First, you *must* get the taquitos here. They might just have been my favorite bite all night: stuffed with brisket and dipp...
