In their own words: “To try them I visited none other than the local legend El Don, who has been manning the same street food corner for more than three decades. Sold for just ten pesos, I was eager to take my first bite of this iconic street food. Oh wow, those beans are packed with flavor. That is incredible. And when you bite into it, you have a soft taco, not a soggy taco. It's really satisfying to bite into.”
