TACO TIME: Tripa y Chorizo @ Los Cocuyos

This now legendary late-night stand-up only spot, located steps from the Zócalo, features every part of the cow you’ve ever heard of and a few you haven’t.  It’s been lauded on TV by one vociferous food maven and for good reason – it’s top in its category. Try a taco of chewy but flavorful suadero – breast  - or melt in your mouth mollejas – sweetbreads. Best of all, however, is the tripe, cooked until buttery tender in fat made smokey by the chorizo that bathes lazily nearby, then “refreshed” on the griddle to give it a crispy edge.
