 Are you ready to give Mexico’s mainstay dish a try? Look for these 10 reassuring signs when considering your first close encounter with a taco stand.
1 Separate person to handle the money – hygiene counts, and who wants
a tortilla that tastes like “dough”!
2 Soap and water for washing hands, yours and the cook’s – once again, hygiene is essential!
3 Well-stocked napkin holders and saltshakers, along with a clean and organized counter
– attention to detail usually indicates a trustworthy operation.
4 Fresh tortilla maker—fresh tortillas are thicker and more flavorful than machine-made.
5 A variety of salsas – each stand has their own variations; feel free to try them all!
6 A variety of garnishes – fresh limes, thinly sliced radishes, chopped onion, chopped cabbage
and jalapeño peppers enhance the flavors of many types of tacos.
7 A list of the day’s offerings – printed menus are virtually nonexistent.
8 A place to sit down – many people eat their tacos standing up, but a place to sit doesn’t hurt.
9 A fan – it helps you stay cool and also keeps flies away from your food!
10 A TV set – while not essential, it will keep you up-to-date on the laest soccer match.
