Best Place to Down Suadero

Paprika ATX

Bad Bunny’s painted on the side of the building. Paper bags painted “FUCK ICE” line the walls. Despite ATX expenses and New York Times name checks, its one-page menu remains pleasantly, reasonably priced. This is a taqueria pa’ la gente, alright. Paprika, Margarito Pérez’s food truck-turned-brick and mortar on North Lamar, delivers some of the best tacos north of the border, and though the sparse, industrial-ish interior is ever-buzzing with clientele, its friendly staff always manages to thank every customer, smiling and panting (the salsa’s got a kick to it), on their way out. Get the torta.
