What Makes a Good Taco? Get Everything You Need at El Novillo

When it comes to Mexican cuisine, the taco holds a special place in our hearts—and on our plates. But what exactly makes a good taco? Is it the soft, warm tortilla? The perfectly seasoned meat? The fresh toppings that add just the right amount of crunch and flavor? The truth is, a great taco is the sum of all these parts and more. At El Novillo, we know how to bring these elements together to help you create the perfect taco right in your own kitchen.

The Foundation: The Tortilla

A good taco starts with a great tortilla. Whether you prefer corn or flour, the tortilla is the canvas upon which the taco is built. At El Novillo, we offer fresh, authentic tortillas made with traditional methods. Corn tortillas bring that earthy, slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with meats like carne asada or al pastor. If you're a fan of flour tortillas, you'll love our soft, pliable options that are perfect for holding all your favorite fillings without falling apart.

The Heart: The Meat

The meat is often considered the heart of the taco, and getting it right is crucial. At El Novillo, our meat counter is stocked with top-quality, locally sourced meats that are perfect for taco night. Choose from marinated carne asada, tender chicken, or juicy pork for your filling. We also offer seasoned ground beef for those who prefer a classic taco experience. Our expert butchers are always on hand to help you select the best cuts and even offer cooking tips to ensure your meat is flavorful and cooked to perfection.

The Soul: The Toppings

No taco is complete without the right toppings. Freshness is key, and at El Novillo, we pride ourselves on offering the freshest produce and ingredients. From crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes to spicy jalapeños and creamy avocado, we've got everything you need to top your tacos just the way you like them. Don't forget the salsa! Our shelves are stocked with a variety of salsas, from mild to fiery, so you can add that perfect finishing touch.

The Extra Touch: Sides and Extras

What’s a taco without some delicious sides? Pick up a bag of our fresh tortilla chips and a tub of guacamole or queso to serve alongside your tacos. If you're looking for something a little different, try our Mexican street corn (elote) or a side of refried beans. And, of course, don’t forget the lime wedges to squeeze over your tacos for that extra burst of flavor.
