Best Horchata

Taqueria Pico De Gallo

Readers' Pick: We watched the guy at the counter sell a customer eight quart-size Styrofoam cups of horchata to go, and grew a little nervous as the enormous industrial container of the milky rice drink became emptier and emptier as his order was filled. Thankfully, the taqueria is armed with back-up supplies, and in due time our thirst was slaked with the thick, spiced drink. Pico Del Gallo's is more milk-shake-y than most, with plenty of vanilla and coarsely ground cinnamon-be sure to check your teeth in the mirror when you are done.
