Brothers Taco House
This place is legendary. Huge home made tortillas, huge filling portions, and lots of fillings to choose from. It's a "steam table" operation. There is nowhere really, to stand in line, and there is ALWAYS a line going out the door. Not important. The tacos are to DIE for. They have mole, chicken poblano, picadillo, chicharon, lengua, cebrada (shredded beef), barbacoa, menudo, milanesa, chilaquiles, and more, and ranchero beans as well.
They open at the un-holy hour of 5:00 am on weekdays, 6:00 am on Saturday, perfect for you early birds on the way to the office. They close after lunch at 3:00, 1:00 on Saturday. Besides tacos, they have breakfast plates, crispy tacos, eggs scrambled with chorizo or potatoes, and a few other things. They always have a bowl of fresh jalapenos on the counter, if you like a little extra kick. I like my Mexican food very hot, and I seldom need the extra kick.
There are about 6 picnic tables in an outdoor covered seating area, if the weather is suitable. Otherwise, get everything to go and suffer the delicious smell while your stomach growls all the way to your destination!
