Lalo’s is a simple, no frills taqueria that serving tacos, burritos, tortas, mulitas, tostadas, quesadillas, enchiladas, flautas, nachos, loaded fries, breakfast, aguas frescas, and sodas. The prices are a bit higher than I expect in some cases (e.g., $4.99 for a regular taco, $5.99 for one quesabirria taco). They have a sizable veggie menu.

Meat choices: asada, pastor, chorizo, carnitas, polla asado, pollo desebrado, lengua, veggie

3 quesabirria tacos with consommé ($16.99): the consommé was really good – tangy, beefy and not too salty, topped with chopped onions and cilantro. The quesabirria tacos were also very good: a single crisp corn tortilla (larger than street taco size) filled with braised beef, a mild cheese (no cheese skirt though), cilantro, chopped onions. The tortilla is dipped in broth for that reddish color, but it’s not salty. The crispy tortilla was generously filled with juicy beef, cheese, onion, and cilantro – and it was even better when dipped in their consommé. Their quesabirria tacos are Less greasy and less salty than average. Wish there was a cheese skirt though! I did see some cheese pulls but the cheese was inside the taco shell.

Lalo has a few parking spaces on the side of the building. Service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. They’re open daily and offer a discount if you pay in cash. The building looks older and the décor is basic but I think it’s aimed at people who want an authentic taqueria experience.
