Description

This unassuming taqueria, tucked into a strip mall in Roseville, is a sweet little spot that packs big flavor punch. The salsa bar alone—featuring five outstanding salsas, including a smoky peanut chipotle and tangy salsa verde—is reason enough to warrant a visit.
Nixtamalized corn tortillas arrive a beautiful shade of blue to tenderly fold around lip-smacking fillings—like the vegan elote tacos chock-full of sweet corn that's in turn tossed with peanut-chipotle aïoli, lime and chili. Other standouts include the star anise honey-glazed pork belly tacos, paired with crispy caramelized cheese and a halo of green onion; or the shredded, saucy short rib barbacoa version, piled high and crowned by a wedge of avocado and flutter of black sesame seeds.
