Editorial Review

Fighting the good lucha to keep the E. Vill fueled on taco goodness. Splits the difference between Zaragoza and Mercadito, serves up refined Mexico City street food. Tacos ordered by the threes, honor El Santo with steak, chicharron, and chorizo, or the Blue Demon with bistec and melted Oaxaca cheese on pita. Petite, festive spot, with purple benches seemingly appropriated from somebody's fuck truck. Wrestler shrines, posters, dolls, movies, glossy black and whites. Just in case you're theme-challenged.
