Tacos rojos share the same ancho-chile masa as enchiladas potosinas but are folded small, filled with cheese or potato, and fried crisp. This evening route begins at the corner stand of Dona Juanita, operating from the same spot for more than sixty years, then continues on foot toward the centro historico to a second stand, Los Agachados, comparing two takes on the same red-chile classic.
