A chivo taco at Taqueria el Rey del Taco

Maybe it’s a nostalgia thing, but being there, on a lazy Sunday, watching an apron-clad doña at Taqueria El Rey del Taco make homemade tortillas like a boss is comforting. Choosing the filling can be tough, but the slow-cooked chivo never fails. The goat meat is slow-cooked for hours with chilies, tomatoes, and secret spices until it is fall-apart tender. Add a little cilantro, onion, and one — or both if you’re a fiend for hot, hot heat — of El Rey’s green salsas and that Sunday hangover won’t stand a chance. $2.25.
