BRISKET TACOS ARE SERVED!

Tonight’s Mexican feast — soft corn tortillas filled with beef brisket, sauteed with onions and tomatoes. Served with rice, pico de gallo and charro beans. Salad and fresh guacamole. All for $14.95….along with an astounding margarita (okay, 2) with hand squeezed lime juice as the mixer.

Stupendous. Next to a tortilla factory in Oak Cliff. Family owned and run.
