Mexican Street Food Arrives Downtown

There's a new choice in downtown Beverly for a quick lunch or dinner - Mexican street food.

The owners of Cielito Lindo have opened a more casual restaurant practically around the corner on Wallis Street. La Victoria Taqueria opened last week. It is in the Odd Fellows Building, less that a block off Cabot Street and across the street from the Larcom Theater.

It is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The menu includes burritos, quesadillas and tacos - all Mexican food that's well-known on the North Shore.

But La Victoria also introduces tortas, popular Mexican street food that is lesser known. Essentially, it is a Mexican sandwich.

See owner Alex Barrientos make a torta in the attached video.
