1 FOR STARTERS
The brisket tacos and cilantro snapper are favorites among diners, but perhaps the best item on the menu is an appetizer — the tableside guacamole, made fresh in front of you.

2 OUT OF CEREAL?
Fear not, Cholula has your back. This walk-up window offers inexpensive, delicious breakfast tacos every morning, and various other types all day. Don’t let the fact that it’s housed in a gas station deter you.

3 BE DECISIVE
With so much to choose from, you have to know what you like at El Fenix or be willing to try just about anything — the huge selection includes guacamole tostadas, tamales, “quezadillas” and other tasty fare.

4 NO PLACE LIKE HOMESTYLE
Authentic Mexican tacos for a buck are hard to beat, not to mention filling. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, skip the taco window and find a table near the live Latin music.
