Thread Only I Can Post: 10 Best Tacos in America

[YosemiteSam]

Does Del Tacos still exist? I recall eating there ones or so, but I don't recall if the food was any good. (I was sub 10 years old) They all closed up around the Metroplex, but I think they were based in California.

A Memphis taco? I assume it's a pulled pork taco?

Chopped smoked pork with a spicy jalapeño coleslaw and tequila BBQ sauce.

it really is the glory of all tacos. They also have some bad *** enchiladas and 3 dollar margaritas.

I've driven by Guajillos a thousand times in SA and have never tried them. If I knew they had tacos al pastor I would have stopped. Well next time...

The best tacos I've ever had are at a little hole in the wall in Greenfield, CA (on the 101 south of Salinas) called Taqueria Las Fuentes. We happened across it on a drive up to Carmel, and now we make a point to stop every time we go through. Three generations of women working - grandma makes the tortillas, daughter serves, mom does everything else. Insanely great tacos (and unbelievable chorizo & eggs, too). I think we're still the only non-locals who've ever eaten there.

Okay, for anyone in those towns I have to know if you have tried them and are they as good as advertised?

There's a place on there called Tio Luis Tacos in Chicago that's not too far from my Dad.

Next time I go to Chicago, I'm going to swing by to try it out. My Dad needs a restaurant on the south side he likes.

After an unfortunate Mexican food experience I made a rule that I will not eat any Mexican food east of Texas and north of Arizona.

Lyle Lovett gave it to the Mississippi river....trust no mexican food east of there.

Surprised DC didn't make the list with the large Hispanic community here.
