@eater

"The building you see is certainly one of the city’s few remaining lunch counters, established in 1952 in a sort of lean-to at Cleveland Place. In 2010 it was transformed into a bare bones taqueria with a killer carnitas taco. Buy a pair and a Jarritos, sit at the counter and watch the world go by. And yes, there’s a fancier Mexican restaurant downstairs, but you don’t need to know that." - Eater Staff
