Boulder’s reputation for great Mexican food had to be tested and so I ate lunch at not one but two Mexican restaurants yesterday. The food was just too good to resist… So little time and too many tacos!
Carnitas (roast pork) and lengua (tongue) tacos at La Ranchera.
La Ranchera Taqueria
2690 28th St
Boulder, CO 80301

Buche (marinated tripe) taco at Pupusas.
Tamale at Pupusas.
I also had pupusas (thick, griddle-fired tortillas) at Pupusas… one stuffed with chicharron (pork belly) and cheese and the other with loroco (fiddle head ferns) and cheese.
Washed it all down with taranjo (grapefruit) soda by Jarritos. No corn syrup here.
Pupusas Sabor Hispano

Ranchera tacos look beautiful. hard to find good papusas here in nyc, that looks excellent also. and with fiddlehead ferns, no less. jarritos grapefruit is one of the only truly good sodas around, in my opinion. sugar, not corn syrup, as you say, makes all the difference. keep on truckin

Brooklynguy, thanks for stopping by. Let’s make a point of eating some fish tacos and drinking something good when you and Brooklynlady are in SD this summer.
