Here’s what you should know if you’re not familiar with Mexican tacos:

- The best way to enjoy a taco is with your hands ✋🏻

- If you’re at a taquería (a taco spot), try ordering like a local! Classic drinks include beer, Coke, Boing (guava or mango), or traditional aguas frescas like horchata (sweet rice w/cinnamon) and jamaica (hibiscus)
