Taco arabes are popular in Puebla; I'm excited to try these.

Tacos al pastor are more or less the descendant of tacos arabes. Angela's Cafe in East Boston (which has a definite focus on Pueblan cuisine, since that's where Angela is from) offers both.

Love Falafel King, if I forget to bring a lunch I usually go there. I like the experience of chomping on a falafel held in one hand, while paying for the sandwich with the other.
