In an unassuming border town's strip mall, chef Ana Liz Pulido takes taco orders from the counter. There’s nothing flashy about her or her little taco shop... That is, until you spot her James Beard Award and the recognition for winning Texas Monthly's Best Taco in Texas.

You can’t judge a book by its cover in Texas, but you sure can judge a taco by its scratch-made tortilla. And Ana Liz’s Taqueria in the Rio Grande Valley sure takes the cake.
