One taco to go: El Metro

Hop on the train for this week's taco adventure to a taqueria inspired by Mexico City.
State of play: Mexico City native Sergio Quijano and Peruvian-American chef Michael Garcia opened El Metro this year in northwest Dallas, filling a need for nice cocktails and good food.
- The eatery regularly roasts a whole pig.
Vibe check: For a casual taco joint, El Metro is surprisingly charming. There's a full transit map of Mexico City above the kitchen and a mural above the bar.
- The space is vastly different from the dark dive bar it replaced — and offers better cocktails.
What to order: Al pastor trompo and chicken tinga tacos
- The chicken tinga is technically on the menu as a tostada, but you can still ask for it as a taco.
Pro tip: Get the elote ribs — roasted corn topped with chile crema.
Where: Tacos El Metro, 3720 Walnut Hill Lane #117
Cost: $2.50 for most tacos
