The Take
Order the al pastor or carne asada taco on a corn tortilla at Los Tacos No. 1. The spot earns a 14 Slop Score for sticking to pork lard in the beans and flour tortillas plus fresh family recipes from Tijuana.
Counter service keeps it fast and cheap while onion, cilantro, salsa, and guac stay standard. One clear opinion: this is real food, not marketing theater.
The Verdict
Get the based order and skip the flour tortilla bowls or dairy guac. Ask for extra salsa on the side because they usually hook it up.
Order the al pastor or carne asada taco on corn tortilla. Slop Score: 14.
