The Crack Taco is built around tri-tip steak known locally as Cardiff Crack, marinated in a burgundy pepper mix and sliced into strips for stuffing into thick corn tortillas. This taco stands apart because of the specific cut and marinade of the beef, which bring a steakhouse-style depth of flavor to a street taco format. Each order comes with a generous mound of meat plus guacamole and other garnishes that soak into the sturdy, house-made tortillas. Local write-ups emphasize the memorable flavor of the marinated tri-tip and credit this taco with defining the shop’s name.
