Tacos Mincho - 36110 Silao

Wonderful food and excellent atmosphere!

The service is fast, the tacos costillas were good. They have 3 different salsas to put on the tacos along with the usual onion, cilantro and lime.

We had a Parrillada the food was delicious. The waitress was very serious, like if he was mad for some reason. He probably had a bad day, but I will definitely be back for the food.

Delicious, freshly made tacos cooked right in front of you with all the trimmings.

Apparently this place is two restaurants in one. An indoor, sit down one with a larger menu, and an outdoor taco stand. My comments pertain to the outdoor area. Not many photos of the outside menu, so I'll do my best to describe it. Available meats: Carne Asada Costilla (rib meat) Costilla adobadas (marinated rib meat) Chorizo Buche (pig stomach) I suspect there may be other meats available, as there was a cutlet of grilled, orange colored meat with the other meats. You can get them as: Tacos (corn tortillas) Tortas (bread bun, like a sandwich) Quesadilla (flour tortilla with cheese) Volcanes - I think this means the corn tortilla, and possibly cheese, are toasted on the griddle (comal) until crispy, and the cheese has browned. One diner had ordered his tacos on flour tortillas (no cheese). After you order, the order taker gives you a slip of paper with your order, which you hand to one of the preparers. They grill and assemble your order, and hand you your plate. They have a crock of beans and grilled jalapenos and onions nearby. Some patrons add the beans to their tacos. For toppings, they have sliced limes, maggi sauce with sliced chilies, cilantro, red onion (a nice, milder variant than the traditional white), cucumber and jicama, pickled onions, a smooth green salsa (it went on all my tacos), a fire roasted salsa, a deep red salsa, and a bright red (picante) salsa. They have a cash register that displays what you owe, so for people like me who don't know many numbers beyond 10 in Spanish, it makes it easy to pay. They sell sodas (I saw Coke, Coke light and orange soda) and (3 types of) fruit juices. Three seperate, nearby diners had brought their own beers with them, and consumed them openly while eating. Most times you can buy beers individually at the Oxxo convience stores (and a Soriana hyper) I have been to. The carne asada and costilla adobadas tacos each cost $16 pesos (as of April 2018). The are large in size, and cost slightly more, compared to some street vendors. Cash only. They have communal seating with stools and stainless counters. They have bussers that routinely clear dirty plates and wipe down the counters. Napkins are dispensed from bags hanging from the roof above. They have a small hand washing station, and there was a pump container of hand sanitizer there. The area is considered a safer part of town, and on both visits, I was able to park without too much trouble. Yellow curbs (no parking in the US) apparently is routinely ignored, or it doesn't mean no parking. As for the taste, I really don't find them the most flavorful street tacos I've had. They are good though, and worth a visit. Everything here is grilled over a gas fired grill, then finished on a griddle. It is considered the most popular stand in Silao. There is a Minchos stand on the southeast part of town (near the Soriana hyper), but it's only open between 9 am and 2 pm. My go to meat is al pastor, and I seem to prefer my taco meats fried in some 1-2-3 vegetable oil (they don't do that here).

Tacos mejor. Raul's family own this place. I visited first time from the USA and Raul helped me navigate. Nicest guy and best fresh food there is.

Best tacos I ever had!!!!! Great size and perfect set up Great recommendation to take tacos!!

One of the best taco that I had in Mexico. Reasonable cost with good flavor.
