Choose your taco!

[Michael_in_TX]

This has been making the rounds on Twitter.....a lovely display of varied tacos.



You may choose only one. Yes, you may google the ones you don't recognize (I certainly had to!). Some of them are....eclectic, shall we say.

My top three are carnitas, al pastor, and asada.....(birria is just too greasy for me), but I'd have to give the edge for asada. Love it.

(The restaurant is Tacos El Fogon in Bellflower, California (southeastern Los Angeles): https://www.tacoselfogonla.com/our-menu)

There are many tasty options on that list…and a few I stay well away from. But the nod has to go to carne asada for me. Boring? Maybe. But it’s got a lot of nostalgia for me in addition to great flavor.

[Draznnl]

I'd probably order Al Pastor to start, but there are a bunch of others that are looking real good. If that first one was any good, I could see returning to the window several times with different orders.

[hoovarmin]

I've had nearly all of those, but if I can only have one it would have to be asada. That said, I've had some really bad asada tacos in Mexican restaurants. The ones we make at home are completely different than the overcooked, dried out excuse for Asada in most of our local places.

Buche if they have it. Otherwise it's lengua. If they don't have either, I must be having a nightmare that I'm in Taco Bell.

Tossup between birria and al pastor for me.

[Dan Deter]

Carnitas!

Probably followed by Chorizo.

[au4stree]

Yes, I like tacos. In order beef, pork, chicken and other.

[barelfly]

How cruel is that! Only allowing one taco! Who could only allow one, when we all know tacos are love…tacos are life

that said…I’d probably go with birria. Carnitas would be considered as well. But the cachete….I bet those are outstanding!

[GolfGeezer]

Birria, asada, carnitas - but, the key is freshness of the ingredients. If the meats have been stewing all day in a warming pan, ich!

I should that my choices were a bit influenced by the fact that I just had a great plate of birria tacos yesterday at our favorite Tex-mex restaurant. It’s all in the consume.

[Troutman]

What about Guisado? Or Canasta? Or Pescado? Or Suadero? Or Cocinita Pibil? Or a crowd favorite Cabrito? Personally I pick BARBACOA (mainly because I'm cooking it this weekend....YES !!!! )

[barelfly]

Barbacoa!!!!!!!!!

Pibil was one I was looking for….that has quickly become one of my favorites.

[Troutman]

barelfly I have on my shortlist to do a pibil enchilada old Mexico style. Stay tuned !!! (so much to cook, so little time )

[Donw]

Al Pastor is always my favorite especially when sliced fresh at a Mexican street stand.

[Purc]

Yes. I can't choose only one.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Can I have a fish taco in San Felipe right on the beach from a cart with questionable hygiene standards please? I know the only reason it isn't on display there is because the photographer couldn't resist eating it.

If I can only choose from that picture, and no toppings are allowed (choose the taco as is) then I'd go with the chicharrones taco.

[SheilaAnn]

ItsAllGoneToTheDogs we have a place here (5 locations) that does small burritos. They make their own tortillas and everything. They make a braised chicharron burrito that’ll make you slap your abuela. It sounds counter intuitive, but it is the bomb!

I’m proud to call the owners my friends!

Oh my... sometimes I question my choice to stay here on the East Coast (but then I look at my bank account after paying the mortgage and realize it's mostly worth it)

[Panhead John]

Y'all are really a bad influence around here! Going to HEB soon for some skirt steak….🤓 and tortillas.

[JCBBQ]

Right there with ya Johnny!
