The experience is simple and understated. You walk up to the counter and order tacos, tortas, burritos, or quesadillas with your choice of meat: asada (beef), barbacoa (shredded beef), adobada (pork), al pastor (pork with pineapple), pollo (chicken), tripa (tripe), or lengua (tongue). You take a trip to the salsa bar and select some tasty-looking toppings that don't have any kind of labels: something with onions, something that looks like creamy habanero sauce, whatever you want. You wait at a table with your Mexican Coke (in a glass bottle, of course), nibbling on spicy bits from the salsa-bar, and then the food arrives:
