Taqueria Cardonas

Living the night life in this area for quite some time, a friend from Pilsen recommended this place.

Well first and foremost, this place is open 24hrs and it has thee best tacos de Suadero in the City, so far, but only if they are available.

However, my friends claims that their Quesadillas are their trademark. Their Agua de Horchata is good, but not the best. My only problem is their salsa roja and verde, they're are too watered down.

The place is usually messy, but the service is great. The waitresses work their best whether if it's late, late at night or way too early in the morning. Good quality Carne
de Suadero 24hrs a day. That's a win-win.

I came back with a few of the same friends I came here with the first time... and though nothing has changed besides the name (now Coyote) and my sobriety level (decidedly less tipsy this time), we agreed the food wasn't as good as remembered.

I had the steak burrito, which is large, grilled and cut in half for you (probably an honestly nice gesture for the drunk patrons). The meat was just okay - I'm really not a fan of steak cut into 'pellets' (pretty low on the attractiveness scale) and the flavor is remarkably bland, yet unoffensive. Of course, plenty of cheese, beans and sour cream add a bit of zest. And again: Both salsas you'll find perched on the table are hot and hotter.

It's open 24 hours. It's good enough. It's fast. Is it memorable? Nah, not so much.

the 24 hour taqueria of my life.  the horses on the walls, the framed poncho villa prints, the ghost juke.  oh the memories.  oh the late nights.  oh the food.  this is typical taqueria fare but the chilaquiles con chile de arbol salsa is a must.  and the veggie tacos bring you a step closer to mexican heaven.  sadly, if you have never eaten here. you never will.  this spectacular review serves as a eulogy as well.  they are currently transitioning into something that has to do with coyotes and are closed due to new management.  i can only hope they are open 24 hours a day.  without cardonas my stomach, my life, and my love will never be the same.
