On this episode of Una Mordida Tacos Tecate, our host Chef Danny Betancourt went to “Taquería Los Amigos” located at Av. Miguel Hidalgo s/n, Pliego, 21400. On this occasion, he tried two tacos: a carne asada taco and a bean taco with fresh cheese, both priced at $1.89 dollars ($35 pesos).

Bean Taco with Cheese

This taco has beans, fresh cheese, and is served on two store bought corn tortillas. Before he tried it, Chef Danny said that the beans had grease and according to the workers, the taco was served with cheese from “the farm”. Another thing to consider is that for Chef Danny serving a bean taco with fresh cheese is quite daring for a taqueria, but it should be worth it.

When he tried it, Chef Danny said that the tacos were fried in pig lard, as they are very tasty. The tortillas had good maize touches though they were from a package; in addition, the beans had been ground to create a paste. The cheese added freshness and had a good saltiness level. This is why this taco gets a rating of 7.8.

Price: $1.89 dollars ($35 pesos)

Asada Taco

This taco has carne asada (grilled beef), guacamole, pico de gallo, and is served on two store bought corn tortillas. This taco’s tortillas were more fried, and the taco was fatter, as it had a greater amount of ingredients.

The first thing to highlight is that the tortillas were very thick and dry. The meat had mainly a smoked flavor, which our host really liked. The meat was cut very well and had a soft texture. In addition, it had a good flavor thanks to its marinade, which was more sour than usual, as if they had used a sourer orange or lime. The pico de gallo mixed well with the guacamole, which is why this taco gets a rating of 8.5.

Price: $1.89 dollars ($35 pesos)
