Taqueria Zamora is the type of place where Mexicans go when they don't want to cook. All meals start with complimentary refried beans topped with salty cotija cheese, perfect for scooping up with the freshly fried tortilla chips; a bowl of chile de arbol sits on the side, nearly bubbling with its ire. You can order entrées available at any other Mexican restaurant in the county, but Zamora hides some treasures in the most unassuming of choices. A request for a taco produces the largest one I've ever met that wasn't a taco acorazado.

The platters speak the culinary lingua... More »
A taco is meant to be a quick snack; any bigger than your palm, and it's a burrito, right? Well, try telling that to Taquería Zamora, which produces perhaps the largest taco in the free world--wrapped in a wonderfully misshapen, freshly patted corn tortilla larger than your average flour version, thick and slightly crispy, and tasting of fresh masa.
