Chuy's Tacos Dorados

Fried tacos · $

A walk-up window that does one thing: tacos dorados, fried until the shell shatters, from a Tecate-born cook. Fillings run from slow-cooked beef to hand-peeled potato, under lettuce, cheddar and pickled onions. Get a couple of each and you'll still have change from twenty.
