This place in Waterloo does the meat absolutely perfectly. It's been a long time since I was in Mexico, so my gustatory memory has faded, but in my estimation these are the most authentic tacos I've had in Canada. Four of them and a Coke comes to about $25 with tip, which is nothing like what you pay in Mexico of course, but it's a decent meal ticket here.
You leave this place with that very slight burning sensation in the lining of your stomach, something that I think is the hallmark of a good Mexican taco.

One of my good friends is from Waterloo and his family has a big place downtown - prior to COVID we were thinking about a weekend there for a change of scenery. I'll check it out when we finally get to make that trip! What is it called?
