: There's three that I can think of, each of which can be very good. : All are on E. 14th.

: La Mexicana is a bit north of High, is a small but full-service : restaurant, which is noted for its homemade tortillas.   I have not : been there in years however.

: The other two places are taquerias (e.g. non-full-service). : Zamarono is at the corner of High, and the chile verde burritos : are extremely good.   Prices extremely reasonable. : Morelia is a bit south of High, has a full bar (the "Talk of the : Town" bar), and is noted for tacos and tortas, particularly : the chorizo tacos (at least in my mind).

I noticed that Zamorano now has a building (it used to be a truck in the parking lot of Los Mexicanos market). Is it still as good?

There's also La Fiesta Brava, in a strip mall on High St. at E.14th, across the street from Los Mexicanos market, which was quite good last time I was there (which was a few years ago).  And then there's "El Flanker" off Hegenberger, which is an odd place.  It used to be "The Flanker", but now it serves Mexican food--not great, but edible.

If you're willing to go a few miles north, try La Estrellita, 12th st at 5th ave, I think.

There is also the Alcapolco in Alameda.....not far from the Coliseium. It's been there for years.  Chili Rellano and Chicken Burritos are good.
