The Best Tijuana Style Tacos
A true Tijuana-style taco is defined by live mesquite smoke, freshly pressed tortillas, and a generous smear of thick avocado salsa wrapped tightly in a paper cone.
Look for taqueros slicing adobada straight from a spinning trompo or searing carne asada over real charcoal, then topping each taco with smooth guacamole (never watered down) before rolling it in butcher paper to catch the juices. In the US, expect to pay around $3.50 to $4.50 per taco.
