Taqueria Chili Verde

I love it, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Taqueria Chili Verde, situated on the ultra-unsavory corner of 6th and Market, is a favorite lunch spot for me.

$2.50 pollo asado super tacos are all I ever get. I don't know why; I've tried a few other tacos and the burrito mojado (covered in sauce), but the pollo asado super taco is what keeps me coming back. It comes covered in lettuce, salsa, and avocados. Fancy it's not, but filling and delicious it is.

Taqueria Chili Verde also serves one of the best green salsas I've ever tasted. It's great because there's plenty of avocado in it. However, sometimes I think they can't find reasonably priced avocados and they think it's okay to compensate with extra jalepenos. The salsa on those days is shockingly spicy. It's still very good, but I prefer plenty of creamy avocado in my salsa verde.

Aguas frescas here are also pretty good, and only $1.10. There's always horchata and one other flavor that changes (pineapple, strawberry, cantaloupe, etc.) I think Taqueria Chili Verde falls into the "Pretty darned good, and so cheap you can't complain when it's just okay" category. Almost everything on the menu is under $5, and I saw a guy eating a huge bowl of soup with assorted seafood in it. I've also considered eating the chicken soup here. But whenever I walk in, the pollo asado super tacos call to me...
