Serious Eats Seriously Loves Taquiera La Vaquita and Li Ming's Global Mart

"Spot this Durham favorite by the cow statue on the roof. La Vaquita makes great carnitas, perfectly juicy with little caramelized bits. They're best simply tucked into the housemade corn tortillas, along with onions, cilantro, and a dribble of the green sauce... Halfway in between Durham and Chapel Hill, tucked into an old strip mall, you'll find Li Ming's Global Mart, with a wide range of "Asian Specialties." The hot bar holds the best deals in the area."
