Torta cubana & tacos al pastor
Two things that are my favorites I think everyone should try! Tacos al pastor and torta cubanas. Tacos al pastor are marinated pork tacos. Torta cubanas are sandwiches with various meats. Fun fact: “the sandwich gets its name from Calle Republica de Cuba in Mexico City, where it was invented

Tacos de Trompo
This is almost the same as Pastor; the only difference is that the meat is slow-roasted instead of seared, and because of the shaving, it gets a “Trompo” shape, a popular Mexican toy. These are very popular street tacos in Mexico, and in the Northeast, they add food colorant for a bright red color.

Let’s talk about this tacos honestly 🌮🤔
We stopped by this taco spot and tried their carnitas, al pastor and asada tacos. The carnitas were okay, but overall the food felt like it was missing flavor. Nothing was bad, just not very memorable. The place itself is a bit run down, and I’d say it’s more of a grab-and-go spot than somewhere to
