                      It is best to find a hispanic grocery store to get the meat, as the butcher department                               knows how to slice and tenderize the meat for these authentic steak tacos.  believe me I                       have tried to find this type of meat at other stores, but the flavor is just not the same if                         the meat is not prepared properly)
