In the eastern part of Ensenada there is a built up taco stand, Tacos
Ferrocarril, that serves lamb tacos. Really unique and the only place I
have encountered them. I did not check to see how they prepared the
lamb, but will do so if I can next time I am there.

One other thing I have seen Mexicans do, here and in Mexico, is make
tacos of potatoes or rice and beans (which they also add to the tacos
they make at the table.

Very interesting. And there's a new stand to discover when you turn the
corner.
