    Even after five sequential bar stops on our Tequila and Tacos tour, Jamie W and I were still…read morefeeling peckish in a semi-inebriated state known as the "munchies". We knew about this taco cart from PBS celebrity chef Pati Jinich as part of her travels to SMA. One of three stellar spots she recommended, the other two were Los Milagros (review: https://yelp.to/Akl564fa67) and San Agustin Chocolates y Churros (review: https://yelp.to/odzpLVN7Fg). It was about 9PM when we arrived, a good thing since they don't start firing up the grill until 7PM every evening. The seats were already filled, and there was a distinct vibe that this was a hangout for devoted regulars. We weren't aware that the full name of the business is Andy's Pastor Taco Cart even though Pati even talked about the pastor in the video clip. In fact, the prominent vertical spit was made of their specialty pastor made of thinly sliced pork shoulder. The differentiator is that it's marinated in a mixture of dried chiles (ancho, guajillo, chipotle), achiote paste, citrus juices (lime and pineapple), vinegar, and pronounced spices like cumin and oregano. Alas, we instead for a couple of the MX$35 Carne Asada Tacos (Photo 8). No question they were quite tasty but probably no better than any other popular taqueria in town. We'll just have to come back to San Miguel de Allende and do right by Andy. Sorry Pati. FOOD - 4 stars...top flight taco even if it wasn't their signature one AMBIANCE - 4 stars...convivial space on the street even though there were no seats for us SERVICE - 3.5 stars...they're quick...wish they marketed their pastor more prominently TOTAL - 4 stars...Andy deserves another visit someday RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

    These tacos are amazing! Side note: It's interesting that most of these food carts only come out…read morepost dinner-time, around after 7pm, almost like a midnight snack. Came here when they just opened at around 7:20pm and was able to get some delicious tacos with no line which was great! - Bistek Taco - I really appreciate that the meats were bursting with flavor and that the beef was quite tender. At first glance, the bistek and the costilla seemed pretty similar, but you definitely could taste the steak chunks in there. - Costilla Taco - This was definitely the highlight of the three tacos and the best taco I've had in Mexico thus far, granted I've only eaten it at 3 different places. The meat was so well marinated and went very well with the tortilla and onions. - Campechanos Taco - I was not as big of a fan of this one as the meat had a reddish look to them and a spice that I was not very familiar with. Could skip. Overall, highly recommend both the costilla and bistek tacos. Also they were so affordable too at 75 pesos for 3! Definitely should not miss out when in SMA.

    I had been to this place many times before, but had never noticed that there is no name or number…read moreto this taquería, having been drawn in by the smell and the sight of the trompo, and the various meats for the tacos that ignite my instinct to order tacos without noticing anything else. I asked one of the taqueros who works there what the name of the place was, to which he responded, in Spanish of course, "I think it's Los Gueros, or something like that'. These are probably the best tacos along Paseo de Amsterdam/Ave. Chabacano in this area of town, and are best known by its unofficial name 'los tacos del Oxxo de Tejeda', or maybe that's just the name my friends and I give it because of its location (between a Michoacana and an Oxxo), and their carefree attitude towards the administrative side of the business. It seems that they're just there to sell tacos, and they do an excellent job doing just that. Their taco options include suadero, cabeza, longaniza, and bistec, but where they truly excel at is in their tripa and al pastor tacos. The tripa is amazing, crispy and not too fatty, with an awesome nutty flavor that makes your mouth water and keep ordering tacos even after you're full. It's hard to find good pastor in Querétaro, but they do a pretty good job of keeping their trompo on point, and their seasoning balanced. Their other options aren't bad either, but not as good as the tripa and the al pastor. Their salsas could also use more seasoning, as they don't seem to add much to the tacos except spiciness, which a good salsa does, but it also enriches the taco. They also have quesadillas and gringas, which are not far from the ordinary I hear. Awesome place to try; very full at nights, even on weekdays, so plan to come early or get in line inside the taqueria. Just a testament to how good these tacos are!

    The food is so delicious at Los Foquitos they could probably have terrible service and I'd still be…read moreback. They don't though. The servers at Los Foquitos are Johnny on the spot professionals. They hustle and you get your meal fast, no matter how packed it is and it's been packed every time I've visited. It can be a little intimidating your first time. Foquitos are little light bulbs in Spanish. I don't know why this is the restaurant's name BUT I've always come here at night and it's a bright spot on a busy road. There is NEVER parking out front so you will park in the middle of the highway. It seems shady, don't worry, it's ok, they have enough attendants to help you park and then run like a crazy person across the highway when there's a break in traffic. Again, don't worry, you'll be ok & there's a reason people are willing to run across a highway to eat here. There may be armed police out front with their faces covered. Again, don't worry, this is a popular place and they are there for your safety. There may be body guards out front. This is because Los Foquitos is so popular you will see EVERYBODY here. The rich (with body guards in tow), the poor, the young, the old, even clowns rub shoulders here. There were clowns dining here from a circus that had stopped in town my latest visit. There is ALWAYS awesome people watching! Ok, now the food. It's just so good you have to try it. Tacos al pastor, chorizo, carne asada, chuleta, etc etc, they have it. This time I had the tacos al pastor and a chorizo volcán. This last is a crunchy fried tortilla topped with cheese then topped with a mountain of overflowing meat. Finally the best flan Neopolitano. I don't like flan. I'm not a flan person. This is the flan that will convert flan haters. I loved it. Everything...here...is...delicious.
