Tortilleria la Original de Zacatecas

With its beautiful Catholic altar on the left and soccer on the flat-screen to the right, this quintessential hole in the wall in far west Fort Worth is a little slice of Mexico and has been so for nearly a dozen years. Unrelated to the similarly named and aforementioned La Nueva chain, it's a small mom and pop whose mom and pop are right there, making the food as you watch. This includes the stellar corn tortillas, petite in size but served two per taco, and filled with seasoned scrambled eggs and barbacoa, chorizo, potatoes and other standard breakfast taco fare. Forgo those for the fantastic tripe, with its crispy, crunchy edges and supremely rich flavor. 

Good to know: Breakfast tacos are served daily, starting at 8 a.m.
