I stopped by Kennedy's Market in Heber for some tacos after work. I got myself one since I only had two bucks (they cost $1.25) and they are pretty good.
The meat is very marinated and has a strong lemony taste, plus the taquero is very generous with it. They have a few salsas and guacamole, repollo, beans. With it being outdoors, there were flies hovering around anything, but what can you expect?
Seems like they open around 3 or 4 PM and close at around 7 or 8 PM. It gets pretty busy around 5. |

Recently when I've gone to Mexicali to eat tacos, I've started to make the effort of trying out new ones. Of course, I take warning and avoid any that might appear to cause devastating intestinal damage during my sleep. Unfortunately, these that I avoid might end up being goldmines.
I hadn't been very successful in finding a replacement to the Ocotlan of old, but my dad actually handed me a business card to a taco shop in Mexicali that he recommended. La Carreta de "Lichi" is a taco shop from Culiacan, Sinaloa which serves a variety of items apart from your standard taco. I decided to go last night.
Located on Blvd. Venustiana Carranza* y Rio San Fernando #1993, La Carreta de "Lichi" offers the following items:
- Papas Sincronizadas (MX$70)
- Brochetas (MX$70)
- Cabrerias (MX$?)
- Pelliscadas (MX$20)
- Tacos (MX$9)
- Quesadillas (MX$15)
- Vampiros (MX$14)
- Queso Fundido (MX$?)
- Chilacas (MX$20)
I tried a vampiro, pelliscada, chilaca and a taco. The meat is prepared a little different, but it's very good and they are very generous. Service is excellent.
My favorite has always been vampiros, but it's hard to find a good authentically prepared one in Mexicali. La Carretta de "Lichi" does a good job with them.
My favorite at this taco shop had to have been the chilacas. This was the first time I had tried them, so I was very curious as to what exactly a chilaca was. It's a larger and thicker tortilla with meat and chiles. I'll definitely continue to order this one.
I know there have to been tons of other great taco shops in Mexicali, so please share the ones that you've recently found.
* The road that runs adjacent (north/south) to the pan Bimbo factory. |

| In the area of "El Hoyo" in Mexicali there is a taco shop what has changed names a few time the last I rmember was "La Tormenta Del Desierto" they seem to think that it's funny changing the name of the taco shop, but its the same people. Tacos are good, large and they give you a full aguacate instead of guacamole. I recommend it. |

Yeah, then it was "El Nuevo Millenio."
I went when it had this name, and it was awful. The meat was kind of burnt, and the tortilla wasn't all that great.
La Tormenta had to have been the best tacos ever. |

Has anyone tried the taco stand called "El Comal y La Masa" located right behind Smart & Final on Blvd. Lopez Mateos? I think the street name is Alfareros, but it's also across the street from the Tianguis "El Caballito."
Anyway, the place serves up tacos and antojitos from the pre-Columbian era of Mexico. From what I remember, they have huaraches and such with flor de calabaza, huitlacoche, pibil and other southern Mexican stuff.
I didn't eat there, since I was already full, but it looks like a place I'll try out fairly soon.
It's open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM. |
