So the other day I was complaining to one of my students (who’s from LA) about how challenging it is to find decent Mexican food in Taipei. She turned around and told me that I should try El Sabroso (address: 107, Section 3, Tingzhou Road; telephone 02-2368-9599; closest MRT access is Taipower Buil…

[image] Bree: Meats were good, but I have to say I still prefer Twinkeyz Tacos’ meats. Glad you checked it out. What did you try? Guy

It was one with Lucha Libre decor :grinning:

Gotcha, will try again around 6 pm. :joy: I agree with you guys; that’s one of the downsides of mom-and-pop businesses. I wish I had a nickel for every time I was all set to support a little neighborhood place here and was met with some combination of them being out to lunch, on vacation, closed on…

I always check Google Maps with the times before I go someplace new. Google Maps times are not always correct but they’re getting better and better and they’re accurate in this case. This place is worth it. El Sabroso Mexican Food 汀州路三段107號, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, 100 02 2368 9599 htt…
