The guy was coughing all over the meat while processing it. Another lady was chopping pig's feet in one the grocery aisles with her bare hands and no hairnet.

Anyhow, this visit I bought 8 lbs. ($87.79) and 2 packages of tortillas ($2.89/each). My receipt reads $93.57 total. My credit card statement says they took $96.84. Not only that, I sent my son back to pick up 2 more packages of the same tortillas thinking we might not have enough and he was charged $6.47 ($3.235/each) for the 2 packages of the same tortillas. This store is buried in the middle of our neighborhood and relies on the surrounding subdivisions for business. You are ripping off the wrong people La Moreliana #13.

And while I had barely 15 minutes to spend here before going back to work, I figured I'd try to squeeze in some tacos. First of all, you know it's an authentic Mexican taqueria when each taco is built from TWO corn tortillas, as well as when there is a salsa and condiment bar next to the scale. At $2.19, the tacos are a pretty reasonable price with that in mind, and fortunately also with the quality in mind, as the lengua and barbacoa are meltingly tender and converted me to a tongue aficionado, even if my predominant use of English along with my fundamental Spanish knowledge seemed as if it earned me all the tender, meaty pieces of the tongue rather than the flappy white ends that might very well be more "authentic." As long as it tastes good, I don't really mind. One might be concerned when the tacos are wrapped up in foil and then in a bag, to be paid for at the front register along with groceries (as I also bought a bargain wheel of La Vaquita Queso Fresco for some impending chilaquiles), but they stayed together perfectly fine and didn't leak anywhere. The tables are nothing particularly fancy but, at a taco market, never need to be. The interior is basically a supermarket but much smaller, with plenty of meat selections at the butcher shop that seems to give this place its subtitled name. There is even house-made Salvadoran curtido alongside the bevy of salsas, but unfortunately this batch was on its last legs, to expire within five more days, and looked it too - and thus I wouldn't even dare purchase it. I will be around this area a couple of times a month for work and would absolutely return here for lunch break to try a variety of tasty tacos! Not Yet French says "Une vraie taqueria mexicaine ! Cinq étoiles !"

Back in the 80s, when the lady owner was still there, I would order 100 dozen tamales every Christmas and for New Year's party at my home, Dona Maria would make it a point to cook my tamale order overnight herself because she wanted me to pick the order in the morning while the tamales were still warm and freshly made.

You like tacos? Barbacoa tacos?…read more You like them, right? Riiiight?!!! This little out of the way Mercado has some of the best in the city. While others are wolfing down hipster tacos at trendy places, I secretly snuck into this place on a recommendation. Inside the store, there's a little taco counter...and it's windows are filled with delectable meats and all the accessories necessary for world-class tacos. My jaw dropped. My eyes bugged out. My mouth began watering. "That looks reeaaaallly good" I said to myself as I stood in the short line. The guy in front of me turns around and says " they ARE..this place is the best". The barbacoa is nicely cooked with that good beefy smell, with onions. Yes, the refried beans on the homemade tortilla please..yes, cilantro.. yes, to everything. I am ready to marry one of the counter ladies. Two nice sized tacos, wrapped carefully by the helpful counter ladies. When I pay at the cashier, it comes to a whopping $3.95 and my jaw drops again. Take my first bite in the truck...this place has no sit down, it's all take out. Oh god..getitgetitgetit... the flavors all come together in a wonderful taco..the meat is well cooked but not overdone, the onions tender and mild a hint of the beans. The tortillas are thin and don't overwhelm the taco. Just enough cilantro. Giant getitgetitgetit. First taco..gone...second...gone. With my primal lunch hunger satisfied...two were enough for sure...I think about this hidden gem hiding not far from the heights. Quit going to the same old places and hit this place...you won't be sorry. The neighborhood looks iffy but everyone I encountered was smiling and helpful. Parking is a little difficult but there's plenty. You gonna like..very much!

It looks like they give you two dozen. They taste amazing. The only complaint I have is that both times that I have purchased them, they had a lot of chicken bones inside of the tamales. I had to be careful while eating them. I have to deduct a star due to this. I think taking some more time and separating the bones from the chicken meat would make these tamales a reacurring purchase for me.
