Oye Taquito

Oye Taquito specializes in a very specific type of taco popular in Brownsville and its bordering sister city, Matamoros. The tacos, formally known as tacos estilos de Matamoros, are generally known for their small, thin corn tortillas packed full of finely diced bistec, before being topped with avocado and queso fresco. At Oye Taquito, you can get them with al pastor if you prefer, but we’re big fans of the classic, with as much well-seasoned beef as these tiny tortillas can afford to pack in. They’re also small enough that you can probably take down half a dozen of them, or split an order with a friend and grab a quesadilla or some flautas.
