An unapologetically authentic, garishly orange taqueria in Surrey Quays serving some of the city's most revered suadero brisket.
Ordering Strategy
The suadero is the essential order here. Visit on Sundays for rotating specials like enchiladas, and don't skip the self-serve salsa bar to customize your heat level.
What to order
Suadero Tacos
Universally acclaimed by critics as the menu's star; beef brisket confited for hours until hypnotically rich and tender.
Alambre Tacos
A hefty combination of chopped chorizo, bacon, and beef bound together by melted cheese.
Arbol Chilli-and-Butter Wings
A Time Out favorite that lives in the shadow of the tacos; smothered in a spicy marinade neutralized by rich butter.

Good to know
The space is bright, loud, and casual—painted a screaming orange. It started as a tiny hole-in-the-wall but has expanded to a larger site nearby.
