4.0
I am all about finding great hole-in-the-wall local eateries. For tacos and authentic Mexican food, this is the holy grail. This NewRo spot satisfied in every way. Sure, it is simple in its decor and when you first walk in you might rethink it. Stay (and come back) for the food, service and prices. I enjoyed Chicken Tinga Enchiladas and my husband had the Carne Asada. The mole is legit! Tried the salsa verde which has a wonderful tomatillo tartness that I loved. All fresh so be patient as it is well worth it. As the neighborhood changes and new highrises are constructed I hope El Sabor de mi Tierra remains. - Rosa Pantoja
