Review of Taqueria

Authentic Mexican Flavours 
I lived in San Francisco for 11 years, so the first thing I must say about Taqueria is that it's not a San Francisco style establishment. Rather, it serves the kind of food you would find at the best street stalls in any major Mexican city. The clean no-frills rooms face Westbourne Park through floor-to-ceiling windows. Many items on the menu are "antojitos" -- basically Mexican tapas. The tacos de pescado (fish tacos) are some of the best I've had -- on par with those in San Diego or Mexico's coasts. The mole dishes (with chocolate-and-chili sauces) are wonderfully comforting. Larger plates include chilaquiles, which are basically a sort of stew comprised of vaguely pasta-like tortilla chips softened in red or green salsa (or both, if you like) with chicken or egg. In Mexico this dish is eaten for breakfast and constitutes their version of a fry-up (i.e. national hangover cure). They've got a range of tequillas and Mexican beers, and can mix up a refreshing Michelada -- a sort of Mexican shandy with fresh lime juice, salt, and optional worcestershire and tabasco sauces (which lend a bloody mary-esque kick). Non-alcoholic beverages include aguas frescas in a variety of fruit flavours.
