I really loved this taco de cachete from Carnitas Ramirez, which serves more than a dozen tacos featuring individual cuts of pork — literally, nose to tail. I’ll continue to try others, but this super-tender pork cheek will be hard to top.

I was disappointed not to see ojos on the list, but when you have ears and brains there’s almost no reason to have eyes. Almost. Still, a terrific-sounding place, and one that’s now at the broad top of my list. Thanks

The lack of ojos disappointed and surprised me, too. I’ll have to ask after them.

I haven’t made it down there yet and now I bet it will be hard to get into:

ETA: Priya Krishna liked the cheek, too.
