@PickliciousF once you have mastered opening doors the world is your taco/oyster. This is me breaking into the kitchen where there may or may not have been a cooked chicken cooling down.

5. Dingo Ate My Taco
Hop on the birria taco “trend” at Dingo Ate My Taco and stay for other Tex-Mex inspired street foods like quesadillas and fresh tortilla chips and salsa, or go there to sample what it’s known for: tacos. There’s slow-smoked Texan brisket tacos topped with pico de gallo and pickled onion, or Mexican corn fungus grilled with mushroom and refried epazote black beans on a handmade blue corn tortilla. The world is your taco.
