El Pirul Asadero

When sometimes all you need is a cheese taco (aka quesadilla). And you happen to have just filled up on several classic Mexicali-style, mesquite grilled carne asada tacos with handmade flour tortillas . After the presentation at Honeywell today, I asked them where I should go for tacos. Almost unanimously they said @elpirulasadero. And I now know why. That mesquite grilled smokiness is So. Dang. Good. I’m usually a corn tortilla guy, but these flour tortillas in the north of Mexico can’t be beat. Plus, got a tutorial from the nice guy eating next to me on the fact that they use yellow lemons instead of limes on the carne asada here because it’s “less acidic” than limes. Huh. I’m all about the acidity apparently. But I gave those lemons a squeeze…when in Rome, right?
