Fodor's Expert Review Por Que No?

This often jam-packed Hawthorne taqueria with a second location on North Mississippi makes a strong effort to support sustainable practices, both with its decor—in which recycled wood and other materials are favored—and its commitment to line-caught fish and organic local meats. Of course, it's the flavorful fare that keeps regulars coming back, especially the soft tacos with fillings based on the owners' travels throughout Mexico, such as carne asada with fiery arbol-chili salsa, the braised-brisket barbacoa with cilantro and crema, and cornmeal-crusted cod with escabeche crema.
