5.- Tacos "Salseados"

Tacos are Mexico, and you can't say you really experienced tacos if you never been to this stand and tried the great variety of stews and sauces. We suggest you go a bit early because most of the time it's packed. As a fun fact, this taco stand was recently mentioned in a Mexican movie called "Me Estas Matando Susana" (You're Killing Me Susana) starred by Gael Garcia.
