taquería
Casual taco spot
A taquería is a Mexican restaurant or food stand specializing in tacos and related dishes.
The term is Spanish, common in Mexico and areas with significant Mexican populations.
Taquerías range from street vendors to sit-down restaurants: We grabbed lunch at the taquería on the corner.
