A welcome new variation on the “trompo” theme in La Roma, El Sirloin offers mouth-watering tacos of beef, grilled vertically to smoky perfection and served on flour or corn tortillas with a tantalizing selection of salsas. Our favorite is the taco de chile güero, the thin-sliced meat served in a blackened, mildly picante, fresh chile, topped with oozing melted cheese. Service is stand-up or seated under a large “gondola” which occupies several former parking spaces on busy Coahuila, not far from the Mercado Medellín.
