It feels like everyone who knows Taquería los Yaquis loves it — though only a sliver of their patrons actually call the business by its given name.
About a year ago, I remember going to the taquería with a friend, Titus. We wanted to grab some food after a round of drinks nearby. We’d been there together once before, but Titus had been countless times, as he had grown up and gone to high school just around the corner. But that night, when I suggested we go to Los Yaquis, he responded with a look of confusion. "Where?" he asked. “Los Yaquis,” I persisted. “Taquería Los Yaquis. Right around the corner?”
Finally, it clicked.
“Oh, you mean Gay Tacos?”
