The Delekta Review

Walk into La Taquería on a busy night and you could forget you're in Barcelona. The clientele is predominantly Mexican, which is the endorsement that actually counts for a taquería. The trompo — that vertical rotating spit — was one of the first in the city, and the tacos al pastor it produces are the genuine article: pork marinated overnight with orange juice, pineapple, achiote and dried chilies, sliced to order and slid onto small warm tortillas with onion and cilantro. The lengua is silky, the suadero properly rendered, the barbacoa slow-cooked into submission. This is not gastro-Mexican, not fusion, not reinvention — it's street food from a proper Mexican kitchen at street-food prices. The original Sagrada Família location sits on a quiet pedestrian passage a stone's throw from the basilica, painted in the red, green and blue of a Mexican cantina. Multiple outposts have followed across the city, and the formula has held because it refuses to pretend to be anything other than what it is.
