Look around town for some Mexicans... You can find them at convienience
stores grabbing lunch or coffee, on the back of construction trucks, in
landscaping centers etc. Ask them (In spanish) if they know of a
carniceria in town. "Donde es carniceria Mexicana?" (Sorry, I'm not
fluent but can get by when I need information.)

Please no replys on how I am using some sort of stereotype because in
actuallity some of these laborers are quite educated and if you have
never taken the time to say hello to them you may not be aware of this.
The Mexican immigrants in general are quite helpful and kind. Give it a
try, you just may find the best taco shop in town.
