The story the reviews tell

Alambre arrives as a built thing—meat charred on the grill, then crowned with the scatter of what makes it sing: bacon bits, peppers, onions, melted cheese, salsa. It's the kind of dish that asks you to decide what protein speaks to you (beef is the default, but chicken, shrimp, and pork all have their place), then lets you wrap it in a warm tortilla and eat with your hands. The genius is in the layering: smoke, salt, fresh vegetables, and the slight give of avocado in some versions.

What makes this version distinct

Alambre (Spanish: [aˈlambɾe] ) is a Mexican dish consisting of a choice of meat—popular choices include grilled beef, al pastor, chicken, and shrimp—topped with chopped bacon, bell peppers, onions, cheese, salsa, and in some variations, avocado. Similar to fajitas, it is usually served with freshly made corn or flour tortillas. The most common ingredient is beef, and other kinds of meat such as chicken or pork are also used. Some recipes substitute bacon by chopped ham or chorizo.
