Pork in general is the superior taco meat.

Costa rica does fried cheese for breakfast, which isn't bad, but does weird me out to see a cheese get thrown on a hot pan and not melt

I like pork tacos (some places mix pineapple in it, some don’t, I like it either way) and I tripa tacos also.

I did not know what tripa was, but a friend I worked with had a taco truck and would open it up a few days a week. He stopped cause of issues with permits and rent where he parked it, which sucks cause I did enjoy his, but I’ve found some other good places too.

So I ordered a bunch of his tacos, everything he had (he didn’t have chorizo) one day. I had already known what lengua was, but had no idea what tripa was.

I wound up finally looking it up to see what the hell it was after eating them multiple times and really liking them. Oh well. Still love it!

Need chorizo tacos in my veins right now

This place knows what's up. I exclusively warm my tortillas up by throwing them in the open stove top to char them. That wet paper towel microwave stuff is for the birds.

I am also blessed with yhe gene that makes cilantro delicious to me

 

[MasterofGrond]

Tripa also goated

 

[Emperoreddy]

This GDT has taken a dangerous turn as I might need to order some late night food

Guys

It's a sign

Also, no way novo doesn't read this forum

A spot close to me makes some bomb chorizo tacos, they also make their tortillas fresh, they’re amazing. They also make carnitas ones that are awesome.

Once you get a good Mexican spot, you can’t go back to Taco Bell or fast food Mexican food. It’s so different.

I also LOVE cilantro.

beef tongue tacos? Is the meat tender?

I haven't touched fast food tacos in years. It's either a good spot or it's home made.

Or for a twist the Korean taco stand down in Asbury is fire

Mogo? They have a brick and mortar now

I've got 2 local authentic taco shops... with all the scary parts lol. I'm not that brave normally but I'll try it and report back. Tongue I'm not scared of - just never knew what that was until I just looked it up. Tripe... mmm maybe not so much. I'm a barbacoa type of guy - shell dipped in the fat.

Those ones look really good and not greasy either.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the greasy ones, but I can understand why some people are turned off by all the grease and oil.

I started eating chorizo probably at the family of my first serious girlfriend. Her mom and that side of the family had come from Spain. They used to make paella with chorizo in it. I even think they sometimes were getting the stuff imported from relatives in Spain. They would cut it into chunks and put it in there. The chorizo was different from the Mexican chorizo, but both are still good. I haven’t had the Spanish chorizo in so long.

And for Thanksgiving/Christmas/Hanukkah her family would have chorizo and paella and dishes like that, which were so much better and different from the typical foods we’re accustomed to eating on those days.

Her dad was Jewish and we would have the chorizo on nights during Hanukkah and the two of us just could not resist making the same stupid “is chorizo kosher though?” Joke multiple times every year.

That's it, I've been exclusively going to Asbury the last 3 years and will always hit them up.

They deserve a brick and mortar. Their tacos are fantastic.

All this good taco talk after I had Taco Bell pregame. Damn you all.

And yes cilantro is fire. I feel bad for people stuck with it tasting like soap.

I also just recently learned it's the same plant as Corriander

This seriously does kind of look like a renaissance painting

Somehow I'm the only person in my family that it doesn't taste like soap to.

It’s normally tender.

It’s alright. If I’m ordering a bunch of tacos I’ll order a couple of those, but if I’m only getting a few they’re not my go-to’s.

They sort of taste like chunks of beef.

I like the tripa better, which are the intestine.

Cabeza is good too. That’s the cow head.

I feel bad when thinking about the shit I eat and feel like I should be a vegetarian.

We need the Taco Chains they have out west. Torchys and Velvet Taco are insanely good taco places.

 

[Devs3cups]

Crazy how different GDT’s get post game after a win. We’re out here talking about Mexican food lmfao. We’re a great bunch.

Not enough Mexican representation in the northeast.

We do have fire south American and Caribbean places around here though.

Mexico in general is awesome. Mayan riveria might be my favorite vacation spot, and between all the cenotes and Cozumel, you have world class scuba diving spots.

I hate cilantro, but it doesn't taste like soap to me - it just tastes like cilantro and there's no real comparable

best secret at taco bell is order the $1 spicy potato taco then add steak for $1. It's amazing.
