“I always look for a place where most of the customers are Mexican.”
No english spoken, cash only, menu in Spanish, lots of long sleeve shirts and jeans on the customers wearing straw cowboy hats, open spit slow fired roasting meat and you would be hunchbacked carrying out $10 worth of food.

Hispanic groceries and carnicerias often
sell meals.
There are a lot more ethnic places now.
Mmmmm. Flautas con pollo!
You just described El Modelo in Albuquerque. Strictly take-out. >90% spanish speaking clientelle with a few gringos in there for local flavor. During lunch there’s a long line that extends outside. The single serving orders are enough to split into two meals.
Tacos Al Pastor
Yummy!
Plus the usual assorted rodent and cockroach parts that add the authentic zing of Old Mexico!
