El Campero – Industrial Decay
This taqueria was recommended by Corpus OfficeWorks’ own in-house saviour Heather Lynch. If you like industrial urban decay, you’ll enjoy your drive here. I did have to fend off one panhandler upon entering the drive through but he was deflected by a mere wag of my head. Great signage. The drive-through has no remote speaker or menu, but the server spoke english natively and was sharp. The drive thru sign itself is a rustic masterpiece.
The tacos are slightly larger than normal, with thick homemade tortillas measuring around 8 1/4 inches. The salsa wasn’t spectacular and they only gave me red. The chorizo could have had more grease. The carne guisada was quite good, with a sauce almost as thick as the beef was tender. It countered the flavor of the salsa well. Standard coffee. Well worth the short drive. Especially with the Gabfest.
