Comments (0) Best Salsa Bar - 2011

El Jakalito Taqueria y Panaderia

In salsas, as in sex, it's all about the spice. And at El Jakalito, a canary-yellow taqueria that serves up tacos, gorditas, tostadas, tamales and tortas, the salsa bar — actually a stainless-steel cart — is filled with exotic concoctions powerfully fragrant with the fruit of chiles, most of them lashed with fire. You'll want to douse everything on your plate with a little of this and a little of that — a dab of red, a jolt of green, snapping up cucumbers, radish coins, ribbons of cabbage, marinated carrots and onions, and chubby pickled jalapeños, their seeds hotter than a Sunset Boulevard hooker — along the way.

Love this place. "TACOSS" is the sign you'll see when driving east on Evans/Iliff, it's right next to the porn store. Amazing pupusas and tamales de elote too, they've got the Salvadoran goods.
