With a white stucco exterior, an indoor mural and a tiled floor, La Taqueria may look like an Americanized version of a Mexican taqueria. Once diners see and taste the food, however, it's clear this isn't "Mexican-inspired" cuisine: It's the real deal. Top-quality chicken, pork, sausage and some of the best carne asada in town fill tasty fried tortillas along with cheese, avocado, sour cream, onions, cilantro, beans and plenty of tomato salsa. Diners also come for the fruit drinks in cantaloupe, pineapple, mango, tangerine and orchata (rice, milk, and cinnamon) flavors. Don't be alarmed by a line snaking through the restaurant, which opened in 1973, and out the door: Employees have the system down pat and serve customers at an impressive speed. Cash only. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
