Pa´los que se atrevan

Well, we are off to a running start!  Neither John nor I felt like cooking last night, and thought we should take advantage of the last warm(ish) nights to sit outside somewhere and get some dinner.  Thanks to our handy organization system, we knew exactly the place to try out.  It was close enough to walk home, and we´ve had our eye on this place for some time now. 

La Fabrica del Taco or, The Taco Factory in English is a fun and what we thought to be, authentic Mexican restaurant.  We both agreed that the owner has got to be Mexican because the flavors are so spot on!

Today I actually happened to find an article on www.wander-argentina.com that did indeed confirm the owner’s nationality: Mexican.  In the article it reads, “First and foremost, we will always be about tacos,” says owner, Federico Lobeira, who aims to recreate the feel of the Taquerías in his hometown of Monterey, Mexico.”  Perfect, we were right!

We both started with Negra Modelo beers (not common here) and a plate of guacamole.  The guacamole was Johns favorite part I think- It was fresh, and creamy…oh so good.

We also both ordered Tacos al Pastor (a personal favorite), piled it on with spicy sauce (on the bottle it reads: for the brave-and not for argentines) They were delicious!  We both agreed that it was better than a lot of the Mexican food we get back home. 

Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me, so these are some of the photos I´ve lifted from the internet. 



Oh so classy neon front...





Al Pastor meat for the tacos, yum!



Hard to see, but the hot sauce bottles read: For those who dare, For the Mexicans, and for the Argentines.  Argentines are not known to like spice...
