Like tacos? Try La Morenita’s

One of Baton Rouge’s best kept secrets for great tacos is the Latin American supermarket La Morenita (Map It!). A quick serve taco line holds serious taco fixings with corn and flour tortillas steamed on the spot and stuffed with numerous fillings, including Barbacoa, pork Carnitas, roasted and Fajita style chicken and beef, tongue (occasionally), refried beans and more. Place your order, and they make it on the spot while you watch. Corn tortilla tacos are $1.69 apiece; flour tortilla tacos are $1.99. The small adjacent condiment bar includes lettuce, Pico de Gallo, pickled vegetables and incredible salsas packed with flavor. A particular standout is the creamy avocado, a perfect dressing for Carnitas in a toothy corn tortilla.
