Tierra Caliente Tacos & Beer
8.0
A newer Michoacán-leaning taquería that focuses on carnitas, fajitas, and molcajetes with a beer-friendly setup. It feels like a modern neighborhood hangout more than a flashy destination, and the menu rewards anyone who likes rich, slow-cooked flavors. Solid pick for casual dinners and shared plates.
