Best tacos in Northern NM

This place is a famous local institution. It's been written up in countless magazines, and people come from far and wide for the tacos.

The veggie tacos with guac (no cheese) are unbeatable. They have broccoli, carrots, potatoes, and more. BUT...be warned....they don't "play" with the spice level of the chile. The green is their "mild" but it would be hot anywhere but NM. The red is so hot that you need to add it by drops to the taco, but it's probably the best red chile sauce I've ever tasted--and northern NM is the Land of Red (southern NM is the Land of Green). If you can't handle spicy food, this probably isn't the place for you, but if you love spicy food, the sauces here are excellent.

They deep fry the entire taco after filling the soft corn tortilla, so every single one is cooked to order. The line can be long. If you're in a hurry call them about 20 minutes before you get into town, and they'll be ready.

If you have time to eat outside, share a big table with a stranger and strike up a conversation. I've met a lot of very interesting people here -- it's an ecclectic mix of artsy types, locals and tourists. It's also dog-friendly.

Pros: Cheap, delicious tacos, Red chile sauce is fire , Chill, friendly vibe

Cons: No public restroom, Chips and salsa cost more than tacos
