There are absolutely zero pretenses about El Taco Loco—its tables all have their own paper-towel dispensers, its juicer is stained with the fruits and vegetables of the day, and its menu offers all the brain and intestines mandated by taquería tradition. Tortas are great here, but the restaurant has become well-known in part for its tripas, which despite the obvious cognate, isn’t honeycomb tripe but rather intestines a la chitterlings. A tripas taco is a good choice—slivers of long-marinated beef heated up via a quick trip to the grill—that becomes even better with a blast of salsa. But despite the tripas’ relative fame, it’s nearly bettered by the buche, El Taco Loco’s lightly fried pig stomach. Both the tripas and buche (and chicharrones, for that matter) work extremely well in taco form, as the meat takes its rightful place as the center of the meal
