Every time we go to El Chupacabra — happy hour til
late — the place is buzzing with energy. The staff are brisk, the diners
are drunk and/or happy and the food is just right. The wait may be
longer but ask to be seated inside — yes, there is an inside! — where
the AC is strong, the bar is right there, and the music is always
appreciated.
Order: The street tacos. Because they’re so
popular, order an Al Pastor (P98) or the Carne Asada (P98) and you’ll
get them pronto. However, If you need something heftier like the Pata de
Cerdo (P353), get the nacho especiales (P403) so you’ll have something
to munch on while you wait.
