An elusive weekend stand on Junction Boulevard, set up on the sidewalk outside a Chipotle, cooking one dish from Puebla. Small tortillas go onto a charcoal-fired comal in pork lard until the edges crisp.

Then come red and green salsas, shredded pork and onions. That's a chalupa poblana, and a stack of them makes a full meal. It typically runs on Friday to Sunday evenings and takes cash only, so check its Instagram before you make the trip.

Editor’s tip

Bring cash, come on a Friday or Saturday night, and order a full stack.
