Description

An authentic Mexican taqueria in an old Taco Bell? It's ironic or a sign of progress or maybe both. Here you'll find traditional taqueria fare - tacos, tortas and burritos - as well as a few dishes more commonly associated with full-scale restaurants (enchiladas, fried fish). A taco with chicharrónes(fried pork skin) is a greasy delight, and the tacos al pastor (pork with pineapple) are excellent. The highlight might be the tamales, available only on the weekends. The pork is spicy, and the masa is like jalapeño cornbread.

Cherokee Street rightfully receives attention as the epicenter of St. Louis' small but mighty taqueria scene, yet Taqueria la Pasadita -- inside a renovated north-county Taco Bell -- more than holds its own. Both tacos and tortas (the latter are traditional, overstuffed Mexican sandwiches) are excellent. You can choose any of the available meats without worry, but try at least one taco with chicharrones (fried pork rinds) in spicy salsa verde. Your cardiologist will never know. On... More »

#62: Tamales at Taqueria la Pasadita

By Ian Froeb | Thu, August 5, 2010

For a long time I had a love-hate relationship with tamales. That is, I wanted to love them but so often was disappointed: too dry or too flavorless or both. Then, two years ago, more or less on a whi... More »

Tortilla Fats: Ian falls hard for a taqueria — again

By Ian Froeb | Wed, June 11, 2008

We were headed to dinner at a new Indian restaurant on Page Avenue. When we arrived, the restaurant was closed. Not closed for the evening — it was only 7:30 — but actually done-ski. I'd eaten lunch there just a few days earlier. "Well," I said. ... More »

Cherokee Street rightfully receives attention as the epicenter of St. Louis' small but mighty taqueria scene, yet Taqueria la Pasadita � inside a renovated north-county Taco Bell � more than holds its own. Both tacos and tortas (the latter are traditional, overstuffed Mexican sandwiches) are excellent. You can choose any of the available meats without worry, but try at least one taco with chicharrones (fried pork rinds) in spicy salsa verde. Your cardiologist will never know. On weekends order the tamales, which are downright ethereal. The shredded pork is tender and fiery, and the masa coating is as rich and moist as cake. Best of all, you can exit Taqueria la Pasadita stuffed and happy for under $10.
