La Matraca

The Plateau’s La Matraca is a humble taqueria with an atmosphere reminiscent of Mexico City’s no-nonsense taco joints. The menu offers the essentials—tacos filled with suadero, chuleta, and al pastor—that stay true to their roots. Suadero, a specialty, arrives tender and flavorful, while the al pastor is a satisfying balance of marinated pork, cilantro, and pineapple. Though the space is minimal, with cafeteria-style seating and a bustling open kitchen, the focus remains squarely on the food. It’s an unpretentious spot where simple ingredients and traditional techniques come together, delivering a slice of authenticity.
