Nevada is a state of surprises, with tiny taco stands serving handmade tortillas, slow-cooked meats, and salsas that could make you weep with joy.
These under-the-radar stands are tucked into strip malls, parked on street corners, and hiding in plain sight, making every detour totally worth it.
One notable spot is El Gordo, which serves handmade corn tortillas loaded with adobada, sliced right off a spinning trompo, with char on the pork that is absolute perfection.
Tijuana came to Vegas, and it brought its best recipes along for the ride.
Forget fancy plating and marble counters, grab a stack of napkins and prepare to taste Nevada at its most delicious, with many locations open late, such as El Gordo's Strip location, which stays open until about 2 a.m. most nights.
