Taquería Las Güeras

The neon sign above the stainless steel counter pulses in the dim light of the evening. Taquería Las Güeras sits on a corner in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, recognizable by the line of people spilling onto the sidewalk for al pastor tacos. The taqueros here shave thin ribbons of marinated pork directly from the rotating spit, catching the falling pineapple in the same motion. It remains a fixture for locals and visitors who want their dinner served on paper plates until three in the morning.
