Best Little Taqueria / Store

Abarrotes Mexicanos

The pull of this place is not the odd assortment of goods for sale on sparsely stocked shelves (candles, brown-sugar cones, incense, sardines, pancake mix, peacock feathers) but the delicious, spicy tacos and the home-cooked goodness of watching your food prepared in sight. A family operation turned over by the dueña to her daughters, this cocina on Tillery has air conditioning, six tables covered in blue-checkered table cloths, candles burning to La Virgen, and some of the tastiest, drippiest tacos this side of I-35.
