Taqueria Xilitla

Best tacos in town. Limited selection, but what they have is gooooood. The only place around to get elotes - nothing fancy but so good I only allow myself one trip a week and I spend all week thinking about it. I don't know much Spanish but I'm pretty sure elotes roughly translates to "saucy crack on a stick". The chicharrón preparado was new to me and it was a delight. This place is worth the drive to east side.UPDATE: They're down by the lube place across from Family Dollar by the overpass most days and out at 7 Acres on Sunday.I just got back from vacation in SoCal last month where I always get some bombass tacos from trailers on the side of the road. Xilitla is the only place around Paragould/Jonesboro where I have found that kind of tasty quality. The Mexican restaurants aren't even the same kind of food. The other 'food truck' here in town with the same style of tacos doesn't even come close to the flavor and quality. They're little more than a miniature standard Mexican restaurant. When I'm yearning for street tacos, Xilitla is the only place to go.Just took the family this past Sunday. Got some menudo, tacos, and burrito. Also got horchata now. It was awesome. Everybody loved everything we got, again. Even my wife who isn't a big eater got more tacos than she normally would because they were so good.

Easily the best tacos in Paragould (other then what I make at home). I've tried about every taco in this town. Super friendly, good prices. I've had the Elote (cob corn smothered in queso fresco and a hotter sauce if you like), but I always go for the tacos. These are like authentic street tacos. This is not Taco Bell. You get corn or flour tortillas, choice of a few meats, and you can have onion and cilantro if you want, and a green salsa. He'd probably even put some other stuff on if you asked, but don't. They are good just the way they are. Don't let the idea of them serving out of a beaten up trailer fool you (he's supposed to be getting a new one and opening up another location he told me). I've been ordering from them since they showed up and never had any health issues.
