Las Cuatro Milpas

I read that the owners of Las Cuatro Milpas were selling their building and stopped by to try my favorites.  I arrived at opening time and there was parking and just one person in line.  Place looks much like the first time I visited

Lady fries tacos while another lady mans the cash register and takes your order.

I loved the crunchy texture and mild flavor of the taquito shell.  Chicken was tender, lightly seasoned.  Good taquito.

Chicken taco had a crunchy fried corn tortilla and tender juicy chicken which was lightly seasoned.  Good taco.

Pork taco had a crunchy shell with with delicious fried flavor.  Pork was tender, perfectly seasoned and delicious.

Flour tortillas were warm and soft.  Loved how they were moist and had a light flavor.  I suspect they were made with lard.

I take a look in the back and see workers making tortillas and bread.

Prices are still low as a taco was only $3.50.  Amazing as some gourmet taco places are pricing their tacos close to $20.

Petra and Natividad Estudillo opened Las Cuatro Milpas in 1933.

 

I will miss this place when they close.
