Taqueria El Paisa@.com
Out of the three sit-down places that we visited recently, El Paisa still reigns supreme. Our rating hasn’t changed one bit since our former food critic, Luke Tsai, reviewed it back in 2015. His words remain true: “the end product is often so spectacular, it’s difficult to describe an El Paisa taco without just lapsing into profanity.” El Paisa also offers the best salsa bar of them all, with an outstanding selection of salsas, the tastiest chili-laced cucumber slices, and tangy carrots. They don’t dump onion and cilantro and sauce on your tacos. Rather, they let you decide how to spice them. Seating includes indoor tables and a shaded patio. We spent $18 for eight tacos and one horchata.
