Dishes to know on this menu

Street tacos: "Street taco" is a broad U.S. menu term usually describing a small, relatively simple taco inspired by tacos sold from stands and taquerías in Mexico. A common version uses one or two small corn tortillas topped with meat, onion and cilantro, with salsa and lime added by the diner. But taco styles vary tremendously across Mexico, so tortilla count and toppings are not a definition of authenticity. At U.S. taquerías, tacos labeled this way are usually priced individually and intended to be ordered several at a time. On this menu as: Carne Asada Street Taco · Carnitas Street Taco · Al Pastor Street Taco.
Al pastor: Marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, then sliced for tacos. The style developed in central Mexico from spit-roasting techniques brought by Lebanese immigrants and is related to shawarma. Many versions use dried chiles and achiote, and pineapple is a common accompaniment. In Tijuana and parts of northwestern Mexico, a closely related style is commonly called adobada. Preparation varies, and not every restaurant advertising pastor uses a trompo. On this menu as: Al Pastor Street Taco.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Carne Asada Street Taco.
Carnitas: Pork slowly cooked until tender, traditionally in its own fat, with some pieces allowed to brown or crisp. Carnitas are strongly associated with Michoacán. Dedicated carnitas shops may offer different cuts and textures rather than simply "pork." Maciza generally refers to leaner meat, cueritos to skin and buche to stomach. Carnitas may also be sold by weight for groups and takeout. On this menu as: Carnitas Street Taco.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas.
Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos.
