Dishes to know on this menu

Cabeza, tripa, buche & suadero: Several of the less familiar fillings you may see at a taquería. Cabeza refers to meat from the beef head; cachete, or cheek, may be identified separately. Tripa is intestine, commonly cooked until tender and then griddled or fried, sometimes quite crisp. Buche is pork stomach and is frequently prepared alongside carnitas. Suadero is a tender beef cut particularly associated with Mexico City tacos, where it is slowly cooked and finished on the griddle. The exact cuts and preparations vary considerably from one taquería to another. On this menu as: 4 Buche Tacos · 2 Tacos de Suadero · Buche Taco Chilango.
Barbacoa: A family of slow-cooked meat preparations rather than one single recipe. Traditional styles in central Mexico may use lamb or goat cooked slowly, historically in an earth oven and sometimes wrapped in maguey leaves. In northern Mexico and Texas, beef and especially beef cheek are common. Barbacoa is often associated with weekend mornings and may be served with a broth or consomé produced during cooking. On this menu as: 4 Barbacoa Tacos · Barbacoa Taco Chilango · Barbacoa (Frozen Package).
Carnitas: Pork slowly cooked until tender, traditionally in its own fat, with some pieces allowed to brown or crisp. Carnitas are strongly associated with Michoacán. Dedicated carnitas shops may offer different cuts and textures rather than simply "pork." Maciza generally refers to leaner meat, cueritos to skin and buche to stomach. Carnitas may also be sold by weight for groups and takeout. On this menu as: 4 Carnitas Tacos · 2 Carnitas Tacos · Carnitas Comal.
Lengua: Beef tongue cooked slowly until very tender, then sliced or diced for tacos. Some taquerías finish it on the griddle for browned edges. Despite its reputation among unfamiliar diners as an "adventurous" filling, lengua is prized for its soft texture and rich beef flavor. On this menu as: 4 Tacos de Lengua · 2 Tacos de Lengua · Lengua Comal.
Al pastor: Marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, then sliced for tacos. The style developed in central Mexico from spit-roasting techniques brought by Lebanese immigrants and is related to shawarma. Many versions use dried chiles and achiote, and pineapple is a common accompaniment. In Tijuana and parts of northwestern Mexico, a closely related style is commonly called adobada. Preparation varies, and not every restaurant advertising pastor uses a trompo. On this menu as: Pastor Taco Chilango · Al Pastor Comal · Al Pastor Paquete Don Cuco.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Alambre Comal · Alambre Paquete Don Cuco.
