Instructions

Buttery shrimp tacos with toasted flour tortillas and melted cheese. In 1987, the governor of Sinaloa, Francisco Labastida, planned a visit to Mazatlán and made a reservation to eat at Los Arcos. Eduardo Angulo, the owner, began to plan a menu and remembered that the governor loved his wife’s shrimp tacos. Trying to outdo the governor's wife, Eduardo and his chef created this taco, and when the governor asked the name of the taco, he replied, tacos gobernador.
