Taco Tuesday: La Comercial Mexican Store

Part of Taco Tuesday is discovering Clearwater.

Many of the places so far, are driven by each day, missed if you did not know delicious tortilla stuffed treats waited inside.

That especially holds true for La Comercial Mexican Store. It offers a little of this and a little of that all with an authentic south of the border flavor. It is part grocery store and part grill.

A menu is tacked to the wall near a deli refrigerator inside the expansive store.

I ordered two bistec (steak) tacos. They also are available in pollo (chicken), chorizo (sausage), chicarron (crackling pork), barbacoa (available Saturday and Sunday) and carnitas (fried pork). All are $1.99.

Tamales, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and other fare is also available.

The two steak tacos came up really quickly. They were hot and the soft corn tortillas were exploding with shredded beef, onions and cilantro. It was served with a cup of verde salsa and lime.

The store also offers grocery items including an assortment of salsas and cold drinks for sale.

The tacos were a delicious blend of salty and a slight tartness from the salsa and juice squeezed from the plump limes. And they are so filled the bottom tends to drop out of them.

For a taste and feel of Mexico without the passport stamp, don't drive past La Comercial.
