Taqueria Victoria

I was pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary warm chips and salsa prior to ordering. The salsa was really delicious, but not HOT hot, if that’s what you’re into. I ordered 4 tacos… Lengua, Cabeza, Pastor, and Fajita (beef). Usually Lengua is my favorite, but in this case, the Pastor was the best and most flavorful. The fajita was my least favorite, but honestly ALL the meats were better than most of the taquerias I’ve been to. However, I WAS surprised that I was charged $2.95 for the Lengua taco, instead of the $1.75 menu price for a flour tortilla taco (de harina taco). The corn tortilla tacos are $1.50 ea and WELL worth it!! DELICIOUS corn tortillas!!

What REALLY made the tacos stand out were the HOMEMADE tortillas!! Both the corn AND flour tortillas were handmade, soft, delicious and excellent!

All of the usual street taco sides were presented and of excellent quality and freshness… Cilantro, onions, limes, and even sliced radishes. They also brought the green and red salsas which were both distinctive, tasty and not painfully hot.

Having been pleasantly surprised by the homemade tortillas, I decided to try the Flan, which was advertised all over the restaurant. This was a mistake… It was heavy, dense and commercially made and packaged. I prefer a lighter flan that is a true egg custard with real carmelized sugar. To each his own.

Overall, this was a pleasant dining experience.
