Taco Tote
Multiple locations
Grilled meat by the taco, then the salsa bar does the rest — a Juárez import that El Paso adopted whole.
Why it is on the list
- The salsa bar is the real menu: guacamole, charro beans, grilled onions, half a dozen salsas.
- Fast, consistent, and open when you need it.
What to order
Arrachera tacos, then a full lap of the salsa bar.
