Concrete Eats – Episode 55: Tacos 1986

For this episode, Jairo and Mel take Concrete Eats to the West Coast vibes of Tacos 1986, the taquería known for bringing authentic Tijuana-style tacos to the heart of the city. From their handmade corn tortillas to the rich, smoky adobada spinning on the trompo, Tacos 1986 keeps things simple, fast, and ridiculously flavorful.

The guys run through the full lineup—adobada, asada, mushroom, mulitas, quesadillas—and break down what makes this spot stand out in a world full of taco options. With that signature salsa matcha heat, the creamy guac, and tortillas pressed right in front of you, every bite hits with that classic Tijuana street-food punch.

If you’re craving bold flavors, no-frills service, and tacos that disappear almost as fast as they’re made, this episode is for you. Concrete Eats pulls up and goes all-in at Tacos 1986.
