Tortilleria La Original de Zacatecas-It's a Mouthful

This place is located in a strip center near Picasso's auto body shop on Camp Bowie West (Hwy 80) at Boston. It sits sandwiched between a hair salon and a cleaners. 

I stopped into this place years ago and the only thing I can remember about that visit was the sweltering heat. It was mid summer and they had no air conditioning. I almost melted waiting for my food. I'm not sure if the air was broken or if they just never have had it. None of that mattered now anyway. It was January, winter, a brand new year that needed a brand new taco. One of my Latina clients confessed she buys their corn tortillas in bulk and urged me to try again.

I walked in during off peak hours and had the place almost to myself aside from the few customers who quickly appeared and disappeared again with their to-go orders. The decor took me back to old Mexico. 

I ordered the tacos Asada and I also ordered a burrito Asada. The tacos were served on double corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and lime wedges. The beef was slightly dry and had a black pepper seasoning of some type. These were not greasy at all. They were kind of small.

They were served with a fiery red sauce that was a little too hot for me. Go easy on it at first.

Although this is not typically a burrito review page, I feel compelled to talk about this burrito. It was a haphazard collection of kitchen ingredients wrapped up in a flour tortilla. I'd never had anything quite like it.

As I started to bite into it, I began to pull out all kinds of interesting things.

I think I ate one piece of bell pepper, some other types of pepper, a tomato slice...and possibly some other things...who knows. It did have rice and beans on it. 

This place was ok. I may be back for their tortillas or to try another menu item.
