On this episode of Una Mordida Tacos Rosarito, our host Chef Danny Betancourt went to “Taquería El Zurdo” at Blvd. Benito Juárez 340, Parcela 39, 22710. On this occasion he tried two tacos: a chorizo taco and an asada taco, both priced at $1.57 dollars ($30 pesos).

Chorizo Taco

This taco has chorizo, onion, cilantro, green salsa, and is served on two store bought corn tortillas. The first thing to note was the salsa which had a very promising appearance which meant it would have a very good flavor. On the other hand, the chorizo was missing a little bit of color.

On this occasion, the lack of color in the protein was not synonymous with a lack of flavor. Quite the opposite, the flavor was quite intense, with a firm texture and it was a little greasy. In addition, the salsa was quite good. The only negative thing about this taco was the tortilla which, despite being from a package, had maize touches present and as it was a little bit fried, it helped it not to feel dry. This is why this taco gets a rating of 8.0.

Price: $1.57 dollars ($30 pesos)

Asada Taco

This taco has carne asada (grilled beef), guacamole, onion, cilantro, huevona salsa, and is served on a handmade corn tortilla. Before he tried it, Chef Danny stated that this taco’s tortilla was bigger and one could tell it was made here.

When he took his first bite, he added that though the tortillas were handmade, they were lacking in flavor. In addition, they were very thin. The huevona salsa was somewhat spicy and the guacamole had avocado flesh that was a little diluted (without being aguamole). The meat was dry and was only seasoned with salt and pepper. Due to this, this taco gets a rating of 6.1.
