About Tacos 1986

Tacos 1986 is a small restaurant known for its authentic Mexican adobada (al pastor) tacos and freshly made tortillas. The house-made corn tortillas are especially praised for their quality and taste. Customers often enjoy the delicious tacos and the variety of sauces, with the chili oil being a favorite. The restaurant offers friendly service, and the staff are known for being kind and welcoming. While the place itself is tiny with limited seating and not much of an atmosphere, there is some outdoor seating in a nearby alley, perfect for a stroll after a meal. The area also has plenty of city patio seating just a few feet away from the restaurant. The restaurant also serves great food like Quesadillas of Carne Asada and Mulitas, which come highly recommended. The Carne Asada with creamy guacamole reminded a customer of the best carne asadas in Ensenada and Tijuana, highlighting the quality of the meat and the smooth, chunky-free guacamole. Prices are affordable, and the service is excellent, with staff sometimes waiting after closing hours to serve customers. A notable feature is their unique salsa macha, which adds extra flavor to dishes. The only downside is limited parking, but the quality and friendliness make up for it. Customers have noted that the door can be tricky to open due to the AC creating a vacuum. Overall, the tacos and sauces, especially salsa morito and salsa macha, stand out as highlights.
