$ Taqueria Pequena, Cobden, Il

107 East Market Street
618-893-1353

A wonderful little family run taqueria. This is not a Mexican restaurant but a taqueria where authentic Mexican style tacos, home made tamales and tortas are ordered from the counter then taken back to the tables in their new digs (was formally limited to 3 picnic tables outside under a tent/awning) in the former digs of “chicken Sunday” or otherwise known as the C-Infinity Center.
The steak (carne asada) tacos are my favorite. Each taco is served on a double stacked corn tortilla with the traditional cilantro and onion with a wedge of lime and a supply of green (verde) sauce. I find it no different than many of the taqueria’s I frequented while working in Central Mexico.
If your looking for table service, chips and salsa on the table or feel inclined to ask for a “crispy shell” taco this will NOT be the place for you.  If your enjoy experiencing cultures through a culinary experience – the “Little House of Tacos” will make your taste buds feel as if they’ve been transported to Mexico. Enjoy.
