10Best Says

Perfect for adventurous eaters and those that are not so adventurous, Holy Taco has a broad range of food and is also a great people watching spot. It is casual and seems to be a hybrid of American Mexican and traditional Mexican foods. Menu highlights include the posole, chilaquiles, and roasted corn on the cob. For tacos, some favorites are the brisket, but for the adventurous there are chicken hearts and beef tongue tacos as well. The menu is seasonal and changes often, but the organic margaritas are always on the menu. Be careful as they can sneak up on you.
