Best tacos I've ever had were in southern California at the small, ma & pa stands run by Mexican nationals.

Small; double tortilla; perfectly seasoned/sauteed meat; a little cilantro; a sprinkle of chopped onions; diced tomatoes; some white, Cotija cheese; and some perfectly blended, green chili sauce. Pretty much like the picture below.

The best Mexican I've had was in Tucson. Its the real thing instead of what we Americans have come to accept as "Mexican food".

Best tacos are in Mexico City at the outdoor taco stands. They prepare the tacos right in front of you using fresh ingredients.

Exactly. I love how these self important people think they know so much. When he hits every city in the country he might have a position to speak from.

We have those guys all over Houston. They dont speak English for shit,but damn do they make good tacos.
My favorites have to be fish tacos and fajita's. I say fajita's because most Americans think throwing something in a corn or flower tortilla makes it a taco.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The best:

Not sure if serious........or just from the north east.

 

[DriftingSand]

The best:

LOL. I guess ... in a pinch.

 

[bodecea]

Fish tacos from Rubios.

 

[Not2BSubjugated]

The best:

A full slice of American cheese and the whole thing deep fried in its own shell, those things are trailer park soul food!

Every now and then, I seriously get a hankerin for those greaseball bastard tacos. Usually past 3 AM on nights that I struck out at the bar, tho sometimes even if I didn't lol. Sometimes, 2 for a buck jacks tacos are the best appetizer before fish tacos

 

[longknife]

The best:

At a buck apiece, not a bad buy and the hot sauce makes all the difference.

My Chihuahua loves the hard shells.

I couldn't be more serious: they are the BEST.

(But bear in mind that you are hearing that from a shart, though; consider the source. Just sayin'.)

The only problem with that is that you hafta wear a Kevlar vest while you're eating them there.
