Momax Zac Grocery Store & Meat Market

The other day I took a different route on my way to get gas in Indiana.  Rather then taking the 100th st bridge, I decided to take the 106th st bridge.  On my way I saw a sign advertising tacos two blocks away.  I was pretty excited and took note to try and pay them a visit.

Today was that day!  I love tacos and I'm always happy to try a new place.  I stopped by for lunch since I was working from home for a bit and had an empty fridge.

It was a short walk to the spot.  When I arrived I was a bit confused.  I then realized that this was a grocery store that sold tacos.  I also noticed that it under new management; I never even knew they where there under old management ;p

So I entered and looked around, and was confused again.  This really is a small place, and there weren't any patrons.  I pretended like I was grocery shopping until I realized the meat counter in the back.  Still pretending to shop I picked up a fresh package of El Milagro tortillas.  Good sign... the best tortillas, and they were fresh.

The shop keepers were busying doing thing, so they didn't really pay me much mind.  It was then that I saw the "Se Hace" sign with a list of foods they prepared.  So I asked if they made tacos and placed my order.

I ordered two asada (steak) tacos and one pastor (seasoned pork); they didn't have any lengua (beef tongue) even though it was advertised. :(  They they didn't have any lengua I was happy to see that the cook was pulling fresh meat from the meat counter.  I waited as my tacos were freshly prepared for me; which did take some time.

Since this is a grocery store there isn't any seating, but I wasn't planning on eating there. I rushed home to enjoy my lunch.  The tortillas were doubled up and the tacos varied in proportions.  I think the asada wasn't measured out equally; that's all.  I ordered my tacos with everything which meant lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.  All of the ingredients were very fresh!

At a glance, on the grocer end of things, they stock your basic staples along with vegetables and dry beans.  The meat counter has asada, pastor, chicharones, chicken and beef milanesa, and possibly more.  They also sell many of the Mexican spices and candies and snacks, along with pan dulce and churros.

Overall, I enjoyed the tacos. They had that homemade feeling to them.  I didn't quite care for the cuts of meat; that is they were a bit 'chunky' for my taste... I like my asada and pastor cut in smaller chunks.  I'd definitely go back... for tacos and the occasional corner store grocery run.
