“ This is the original taqueria in Zihuatanejo and whilst it has been renovated it still has that small town charm, full of locals, full of sounds and aromas, and with a stripped-down menu that has worked well for them. I had the classic 3 barbacoa and 3 al pastor tacos with a bottle of Squirt to wash it all down! As good as you’ll ever get! ”
