Mexican street tacos are the attraction at Taquitos West Ave., and if the flavors and vibe feel real, it may well be because its owner started out as a street taco vendor operating from a single grill. Eventually, business blossomed into a storefront operation, and Taquitos West Ave. was born. Tacos are the focus here. Don’t expect sides or other options. There are limited tacos on offer — tripas, lengua, cabeza, bistek, suadero and al pastor, the latter only available on the weekends. Top them with salsa, chopped onion and cilantro and go to town.
