On a recent trip down to Laredo, a coworker of mine called me and said I have to meet him for…read moretacos, and I have to try Paulita's. Hungry for tacos, and up for an adventure, I obliged. I punched in the address in my GPS and commanded my vehicle to take me at once.
After cruising through some sketchy parts of town, I was leary of what my buddy was getting me into. This side of town was looking pretty rough. But, I have heard that these are the types of places that you get legendary tacos at.
Upon arrival I parked on an street adjacent to the restaurant. Mi amigo was waiting outside as the inside was crowded and no seats were available. My friend had ordered me two bacon, egg, and cheese tacos; and he ordered himself one bacon, egg, and cheese taco along with a bacon, egg, and potato taco.
After shooting the breeze a bit, handful of folks exited, and mi amigo and I went in and grabbed a seat. The restaurant was a bit older, but well kept, and a small cozy place. A very nice older lady approached our table and spoke with mi amigo. It was all in Spanish, but I did comprehend when she asked me what I wanted to drink. Agua, por favor.
My buddy and I had a nice chat, catching up on old times, and we were brought tacos shortly thereafter. We were handed our tacos, and we proceeded to dive right in.
I opened my taco and just took a huge bite. This was a very large taco and it was full of goodies. I did, however, manage to bite right into the wrong taco, as the waitress mixed our order up. This was not too big of a deal, and we both enjoyed our tacos anyway. This was my bad for being overly excited and hungry from the drive.
The tacos were delicious. I decided to take a walk on the wild side, and dress my taco up with the green sauce that was included. I am glad I did, because the sauce was delicious, and packed a good punch, without knocking out my tastebuds out with too much heat.
I ended up eating one taco, and taking the other to go. These tacos are huge, and one did the trick. Next time, I will only order one taco.
I definitely recommend Paulita's for breakfast tacos. They were very delicious, and filled me up. I would say if you are a gringo, try and find a buddy who speaks Spanish to take with you. I was the only gringo in that place, and could not have done it without him. All kidding aside, the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back the next time my travels find me in Laredo.
Audios, amigos! Enjoy!
