Taqueria Pinocho

This is the best taco place ever. It’s truly a hole in the wall kind of place. Boy is it good. It’s finger licking good. You have to order and pick up at counter. This causes a bottle neck, particularly if the person in front of you has a large order. Find a table to sit and enjoy. Holds about 20 people all toll. It’s still worth the wait. I got the 3 tacos plate with rice and beans. I ate everything. If time permitted, I would have gotten in the line again to order. The line was out the door.

Definitely a nostalgic old school spot. Plenty of tables. Cash only. Super nice staff. Helps if you know Spanish. Big menu, so we weren’t sure what to get and when we asked for what’s best, the man behind the counter said everything haha (ok ok yes, I’m sure it’s all good but everywhere has a specialty lol). Other customers ordered a variety of things like soups and fried whole fish but we were there to check out the tacos. One friend recommended the guisado de Puerco rojo so we got that and I thought the flavor was good and meat was tender. Also tried the barbacoa (cabeza) which were pretty good. Decided to also try something new, the buche aka stomach… not our favorite but I’m sure some love it, a bit on the salty side. The corn tortillas were better than the flour tortillas. Loved the Jamaica agua fresca. And my friend like the piña. Prices are cheap. Decent tacos just not my favorite. But also heard from many that this is their fav late night spot after a few drinks, which I can totally see
