Then our tacos came out. Going clockwise from the top taco was carne asada (Mexican grilled meat), the al pastor (shepherd style usually pork), and the "good enough to make you cry" cabeza (beef cheeks). These were a bit on the small side, even for $1.29, but were packed with meat. So we easily split the meat with the second tortilla and made another taco.
So how good were they? Well, none of us cried after tasting the tacos. But lil' sis's eyes did widen in pleasant surprise. The carne asada was good but not spectacular. The al pastor was merely OK. But the cabeza, now my only experience with cabeza was at Carnitos Michoacan and their cabeza tacos tasted a bit fatty to me. This cabeza taco was so tender and moist. Truly spectacular.
The tacos definitely redeemed the lunch.

1 year ago today, I reminisced about the beginning of my culinary wanderings with fessenjan (Persian walnut pomegranate glazed Cornish game hens) and dill rice, and waxed poetic about the gloaming.
