Tacos Fitos is located just outside of Mercado Hidalgo in central Tijuana. This popular cart’s talented taqueros (taco makers) are known for quickly tossing a dash of salsa and beef stock with a spoon over a span of a foot or more into an awaiting corn tortilla held in the other hand. The finished taco is then rapidly folded in paper and handed to a hungry customer. Some claim these guys are the fastest taqueros in Mexico. Tacos Fitos focuses on three types of tacos — birria de res (seasoned beef stew), tripas (small intestine), and campechano style, which combines the two fillings. The tortilla is dipped in beef stock and placed on the griddle to fry until the tortilla becomes golden and crispy, or al dorada.
