Tacos Gobernador

Tacos de Camarón Estilo Gobernador

Born at the restaurant Los Arcos in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, in the 1990s when chef and owner created them for a visiting state governor — who liked them so much they kept his title. Shrimp sautéed with poblano and onion, blanketed in melted manchego inside a griddled tortilla. Half quesadilla, half taco, all coastal Sinaloa.
