i had seen that a new taqueria had opened on the fulton mall, just a few doors down from cafe corazon. i'm always up for mexican food, so i knew that i would visit sometime.

In about a month, downtown will get its first big influx of hipsters when the Vagabond Lofts open. And these people will need to eat.

The battling sounds of knife chops, echoed by even more knife chops, can be heard from outside. Cars constantly pull in and out of the tiny parking area.

I have had some bad Mexican ice cream.

While it is true that excellent hard-to-find Mexican restaurants are out there, these Shangri-Las are few and far between, and for every "good" one there are often several dozen imitators
