Tacos Fonda Argentina is both the name of the establishment, a restaurant close to the monument to the revolution in Mexico City, and the name of its signature dish: tacos of chopped steak. This restaurant is truly where Argentina meets Mexico. I had one taco plain and the other with melted cheese (Manchego, as it turned out). My side dish was grilled prickly pear paddles (cactus leaves) which, being slimy, a bit tart, and somewhat bland, were the perfect foil for the well seasoned meat in the tacos. I paired my meal with a jarra de cleriquot, which was a jug of light sangria with chopped apple and cantaloupe in it. The tacos were served with various salsas (I liked the green one with cilantro) and lime pieces for squeezing. Good stuff. When I went back the following evening, I had a cheese empanada that had strips of poblano pepper in it. Like I said, Argentina meets Mexico (and it's a good combination).
