I was initially ecstatic when I found El Trompo in the market, but I started noticing after a while that their al pastor tacos were actually kind of dry.
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.
Oh, I recently watched a good Mexican flick on the recommendation of the owner of the Cactus:
The Perfect Dictatorship (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Perfect_Dictatorship). It's a black political satire, essentially a Mexican version of
Wag the Dog.
