I spent one of my mexican holidays in a rural part of the south, and one night we stumbled onto a small taco shop where all they were making was tacos al pastor, roasting slowly with pineapple on top, served on small handmade tortillas and garnished with cilantro and onions, and we stuffed ourselves silly. Ever since that trip I've been chasing the tacos al pastor dragon...and I found it today at La Taqueria. Oh joy!

The tacos menu is extensive, local and organic and I'll be back to try the rest of the flavours (there are veggie and carnivorous options both available) note that seating is limited and take out might be a good option when they are busy. On sunny days just head down to the street and hang with the rest of the folk.

And be warned, if you are hungry, order 4!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this tiny little gem, my boyfriend and I went last night for our anniversary dinner and ordered alla familia (where the chef sends out multiple plates to share) and let the kitchen decide what to make us. Needless to say we ate fantastic course after fantastic course for about 3 hours and ended with the osso bucco which was unreal and even though we were stuffed to capacity, we managed to squeeze it in. We also had veal scallopini with tuna sauce, an unreal veal ravioli with demi glace, risotto with white asparagus and black sablefish...and others which I can't recall. And, the desserts were mouth watering and so fresh thanks to their terrific pasty chef. Long story short, make a reservation early in the night and plan to stay and eat for a while.
