Get up on Sunday morning around 10 am. Pull a 6 pack of Modelo Especial out of the fridge. Drink one immediately. Take the remaining 5 beers and put them on ice in a small cooler. Grab a couple of plastic cups depending on how many people are with you. Drive to Canino on Airline. Turn on the radio dial to 90.1, they will be playing killer blues music for the next 4 hours or so. Once you arrive at Canino Farmer's Market get out of the car, grab your cooler and walk through the market to the back of the parking lot where you will find a taco truck surrounded by a gaggle of Mexicans who look like they know how to eat. Walk up to the taco truck and order as many Tacos de Mollejas and Tacos de Tripas as you can afford (They are $1.50 each you should be able to afford quite a few depending on your current economic circumstances). Find a spot to chill. Take their red sauce and pour it in the bottom of your plastic cup. Then once your tacos are ready squeeze in some of the lime they serve you as well. Pour your cold Modelo Especial on top of that, eat your tacos and be very glad you live in Houston. ywia

The back of the market always smells rotten. They have a couple dumpsters back there that just reek.

If those mollejas are legit you will be my hero. I have lived in Houston almost 10 years and haven't really found any worth a damn.

They are very legit. Just be sure to get there early as they get overcooked the later you go in day.

I'm assuming that making a b-line to the nearest reliable plumbing toilet is necessary within an 30 min of finishing.

Given that area of town that may require you to leave ASAP since I doubt you could find a reliable toilet within the necessary time slot.

This isn't going to stop me from trying it out but needs to included in your step by step guide.

Don't want anyone to get stuck in a precarious situation.

Have you tried the El Emiliano Asador on Gessner (located in the former Tostada Regia building right next to former Jarro Cafe)?

Been wanting to stop by and the Yelp reviews and pictures look legit. May have to check it out this weekend.

Stan,

If those tripa tacos are legit, I will always praise your name.

Went to El Emiliano Asador today for lunch and were likely the only people in there. The good news is the barbacoa tacos were legit as ****, hot, fresh, solid corn tortilla. There were also some tacos with bacon, fideo that comes out with the salsa and fried corn tortillas that was really good, and no one there including the chef that came out to ask us about our meal spoke English.

Menu looKS intriguing if a bit random since they have pastas on there but I'd give those a shot too after making my way through the rest of the menu. Do try.

How is this relevant?? And that was a cook not a chef that came out to ask about your food.
