Reyes Deli

This South Slope favorite is beloved by locals for its excellent prepared food counter, serving fresh and authentic burritos, tamales, tacos and more, but for aspiring Mexican chefs, there are plenty of excellent groceries to be found on the deli’s shelves. Look for dried herbs (oregano, bay) and chilies (guajillo, ancho), as well as refrigerated queso fresco and queso Oaxaqueno and plenty of tortillas to make your own tacos.
