A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

venue Antojitos El Toril

Every foodie will tell you that street food is where you find the real cultural specialties. Antojitos El Toril has translated Central Mexican street food ("antojitos") into hearty dine-in or take-out dishes. Here you can grab all of your favorites, including enchiladas, gorditas, tacos, and quesadillas, filled with tender chicken, steak, marinated pork, or spicy chorizo. Some vegetarian options are also available, like the avocado enchiladas. The "guisados," or stews, are the taqueria's specialty. Each day two or three guisados are featured--recent selections included aromatic pork in salsa roja. Don't miss out on the chance to try the most authentic of Central Mexican cuisine; on weekends only, Antojitos El Toril serves menudo, a stew of slow-cooked tripe in tasty, spicy broth.
