There’s an emotion travelers bring home from vacation as an unintended souvenir. (Full review)

The most consistent thing at this taqueria is the tacos, which come in 12 varieties, from tongue to lobster. They're not always perfect, but they are easily the tastiest thing going on Lansdowne Street (and that includes you, Miss Glittery Minidress). The tongue taco, for example, contains dense, deeply smoky bits of meat, offset by a bit of bright lime. Carne asada features chewy chunks of grilled skirt steak with the concentrated flavor of a demi-glace. Caramelized onions complement the steak but don't overwhelm it. And the fish in the pescado tacos is lightly battered and cleanly fried, though its delicate flavor is sometimes drowned out by the avocado wedged next to it in the tortilla. (Full review)
