Master Critic Review

Taqueria San Pedro 7.9
Hamilton Heights-Sugar Hill
Taqueria San Pedro is a no-frills Broadway taqueria where an unusually deep taco list—from pastor and campechano to lengua and cabeza—draws regulars. Prices stay low, portions fair, and the menu broad enough to cover breakfast plates, tortas, and late-night taco cravings.
Must-Try Dishes: Pastor taco, Campechano taco, Birria taco

What makes it special: Lengthy taco roster with classic and offal cuts at true taqueria prices.
Who should go: Taco obsessives exploring beyond basic chicken and steak fillings.
When to visit: Late evenings or weekend afternoons when the griddle is busiest.
What to order: Pastor, campechano, and birria tacos plus a Mexican soda.
Insider tip: Order a mix of tacos by cut, then add lime and salsas at the counter for best balance.
