You’ve found the place when you see the line of eager customers snaking toward gentle wafts of smoke from the tented outdoor kitchen. The line moves quickly and the energy is high: Masa is rapidly being pressed into discs and cooked on a flattop to form new tortillas, while meat is constantly being flipped and rotated on the fiery grill. The cooks responsible for Tire Shop Taqueria are lightning-fast. If they took over the operations at your local DMV, the line would move fives times faster, guaranteed.
