Just far enough from La Sagrada Família to dodge the crowds, this simply decorated spot serves authentic Mexican fare. The menu includes 20 different corn or flour tacos, such as sautéed shrimp and beans or cochinita pibil (traditional slow-roasted pork seasoned with annatto seeds), and four styles of ceviche. Vegetarian options include a delicious pumpkin-flower quesadilla.
