#salsa bar

A true taco specialist, Lilly’s Tacos offers a wider variety of meat choices than most taquerias: Steamed (maciza, cabeza, cachete, lengua, labio/lip, ojo/eye), Grilled (asada, adobada, chicken, tripe). They also have a vegetarian option. Tacos are $1.60 each.

Order up front and wait for your number to be called. The tacos come unadorned so be sure to visit the chilled salsa bar to help yourself to three kinds of salsa, chopped onions, cilantro, radish, and limes.

The dining room is no frills with cheap rickety tables that they don’t clean too often, TVs and lots of people.

* Cabeza and cachete tacos: The meats were chopped up into small pieces and similar tasting. Both were tender and well spiced. Each taco comes on two small corn tortillas. I thought the salsas were good. The tacos weren’t too wet.

Closed on Tuesdays.

How does Puebla Tacos have three locations? Maybe I ordered the wrong things but I certainly wouldn’t want to return. I guess all the elaborate décor was a bad sign. They have an elaborate murals and random objects outside of the restaurant.

Order upfront and they’ll bring you your food. The menu includes seafood dishes, salads, breakfast items, combination plates, burritos ($7.25), tortas, soups, nachos, taquitos, quesadillas, and menudo on the weekends. Prices are higher than most taquerias in Pasadena.

Meat choices: Pastor, pollo, carnitas, asada, lengua, birria, chicharron, tripas, chorizo, shrimp, fish

The tacos are $2.75 each and come unadorned so visit the salsa bar to add what you’d like (salsas, onion, cilantro, radishes, pickled veggies).

* Complimentary tortilla chips: Best thing about the meal, lightly salted, warm, extra thin, crispy

* Fish taco ($3.59): A larger taco, it came with two warm corn tortillas, a big piece of grilled fish (tilapia?), shredded cabbage, chopped tomatoes and a thick creamy dressing. The thick, sweet dressing drowned out the flavor of the mushy fish.

* Lengua taco ($2.75): The taco is larger than usual (probably twice the size) but there wasn’t much meat. The lengua was cut into big pieces. Some pieces were very fatty but overall the lengua was too chewy. It comes with two warm corn tortillas. The XXX salsa was very smoky and not that spicy.
