If you’re a true taco lover, stepping into Melis Taqueria feels like stumbling upon a hidden culinary gem where every bite tells a story of bold, authentic flavors. I dove into their menu expecting the usual—but what I got was a tour through Mexico’s comfort food hall of fame.
Let’s start with the burritos—these aren’t your run-of-the-mill wraps. Each one is a handheld feast, stuffed to perfection. The chorizo burrito hits you with that smoky-spiced richness, while the bacon version is decadently savory. And the HamPotatoe? Think layers of creamy, tender potato melded with salty ham—it's like breakfast and lunch had a glorious, flour-tortilla-wrapped baby.
Their tacos are where things get real. Same great fillings—chorizo, bacon, ham-potato—but in that classic street-style format. One bite and you’ll understand why simplicity wins when the ingredients are this good. Perfectly portioned, messily satisfying.
Now, the tortas—oh, man. These are not sandwiches. These are events. The Jamon torta is a stack of nostalgia, while Pierna (slow-cooked pork leg) brings deep, marinated richness. But the showstopper? The MilanezaBisteck—crispy-fried steak layered in a fluffy bolillo roll—crunchy, juicy, and completely addictive.
Then there’s the wildcard: gorditas. Plump little masa pockets grilled and filled with soul-warming goodness. You can’t go wrong with Carnitas, but the Barhalda (barbacoa-style) is slow-cooked magic. The LenguaBisteck? Unexpectedly tender. And Chicharron brings that glorious, fatty crunch only true fans will fully appreciate.
Every dish at Melis Taqueria feels like a labor of love—authentic, unpretentious, and wildly craveable. If flavor had a hometown, this place would be it.
