Urban Taco

Update: Urban Taco is now a virtual kitchen that operates inside Oomi digital kitchen. Yes, the name sounds a little corporate, but the best restaurant in Mockingbird Station has tons of personality. Co-owner Markus Pineyro drew inspiration from the late-night foods of his native Mexico City when designing tacos such as the “a la Tuma,” which is wrapped, on the outside of the tortilla, in a layer of molten, salty grilled cheese. There’s another way the kitchen’s name is misleading: It serves a lot of food besides tacos, including tortas, empanadas and yucca fries.

Top pick: It’s worth paying the $4 for the chips and salsa trio, which comes with your choice of three salsas and a humongous bag of fabulously crunchy seasoned tortilla chips. The salsa varieties available include relative rarities like a peanut-habanero salsa with assertive nuttiness and an avocado-jalapeño number so good, you might just forget guacamole.
