Taqueria Don Pepe

What's it like?

Had lunch with a friend today at Taqueria Don Pepe’s. I think the last time I was there was at least twenty years ago or so. This is an unassuming little taco joint that used to be a KFC. I arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 and by 11:45 the place was filling up fast. I had to move quickly to get a table! I ordered an Al Pastor Torta and my friend ordered a Carne Asada Quesadilla. Within a few short minutes our food was delivered to our table and man were we in for a nice treat! My torta was made with little chunks of pork (al pastor) with avocado, lettuce, a mild sauce, and cheese, on grilled torta bread. This torta was absolutely delicious! I was trying to eat slowly, but I couldn’t wait to take the next flavorful bite. This was truly an authentic Mexican sandwich on par with anything I tasted when I last visited Mexico City.
