Carnitas: Pork slowly cooked until tender, traditionally in its own fat, with some pieces allowed to brown or crisp. Carnitas are strongly associated with Michoacán. Dedicated carnitas shops may offer different cuts and textures rather than simply "pork." Maciza generally refers to leaner meat, cueritos to skin and buche to stomach. Carnitas may also be sold by weight for groups and takeout. On this menu as: Carnitas Tacos · Carnitas Burrito.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Carne Asada Tacos.
Cabeza, tripa, buche & suadero: Several of the less familiar fillings you may see at a taquería. Cabeza refers to meat from the beef head; cachete, or cheek, may be identified separately. Tripa is intestine, commonly cooked until tender and then griddled or fried, sometimes quite crisp. Buche is pork stomach and is frequently prepared alongside carnitas. Suadero is a tender beef cut particularly associated with Mexico City tacos, where it is slowly cooked and finished on the griddle. The exact cuts and preparations vary considerably from one taquería to another. On this menu as: Tripa Tacos.
Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Carnitas Burrito.
