Tacos Al Suadero 8.1
Corona
A late-night taquería famous for its namesake suadero tacos, griddled until crisp-edged and served into the early-morning hours. Prices stay low enough that a stack of tacos and a drink still feels like a bargain, especially after a game or night shift.
Must-Try Dishes: Taco de suadero, Taco al pastor, Quesadilla with house salsas
