I've kind of accepted the fact that every post involving tacos is going to have drive by flaming of "Americanized" stuff, but what's wrong with Lime and Cilantro?

 

[Kieli]

Meh, tacos ain't for me.

I've always wanted to try Popeyes biscuits and spicy chicken, though.

And the double-double with grilled mustard mushrooms/onions or whatever.

 

[novenD]

Stay safe OP

The funny thing about "Americanized" tacos are that they are usually more expensive than the authentic tacos.

 

[RustyNails]

I'm pretty sure Robert Palmer made a song about this.

 

[terrisus]

Hopefully it means people ares starting to forget to post it in every food thread.

But, unlike most of the other food threads, this one is actually about tacos :þ

Doesn't mean that meme isn't played out.

Edit: why did you just post a picture of Robert Palmer? I get that he mentioned him, I just don't understand what the picture is trying to accomplish.

I'm sick of eating authentic tacos, I want a Taco Bell in Mexico!

Don't know whats up with the Lime fellow, but the cilantro thing is understandable since it does taste like soap to some unlucky mutants.

Make a run for the border.

 

[big_z]

I make tacos almost every week for my cheat meal. It hasn't gotten old and I've been doing it for over a year. Just can't get enough although I miss the cheese blasted shells that they tested a few months back.

 

[OraleeWey]

get that lime out of there...

Dude... You put lime on the tacos.

Tortilla
The Meat
Homemade Green Salsa
Homemade Hot Salsa
Cilantro
Chopped Onions
Beans
And Lime

This is how a taco is done folks. Of course if you don't like something you don't put it.

Yeah, but you'd to visit San Antonio.

*shudders*

 

[Servbot24]

Tacos are a god tier food, but Taco Bell and Chipotle? Come on man.

Yeah, but you'd to visit San Antonio.

*shudders*

It's a nice place to visit for an afternoon. Living there is another story.

 

[EchoChamber]

Taco bell? OP please.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Ever since moving to LA, I've become addicted to tacos. I could easily eat them 3-4 times a week I'm betting. Mostly local places, but I'll admit to having a bit of a weakness for Del Taco.

go to el taurino and get that red sauce.

They tried it and failed massively.

OP, doing a quick search for "best tacos in Cleveland, OH" it looks like you need to visit La Plaza Supermarket.

You better get on it.

 

[Bodacious]

Dude lives in Ohio.

So? I live in WV, been to Taco Haven 6 times. For some reason, karma/fate has seen fit to send me to San Antonio a number of times. I make the best of it. Point being, if the OP wants proper tacos, there will have to be a road trip (or bus, or plane) to a place where they're made. Doesn't have to be San Antonio, it just happens there's a place there I can wholeheartedly recommend.


Here's another option, a little more upscale compared to Taco Haven. Each has its merits.

Picante Grill
3810 Broadway
San Antonio TX 78209.

It's a nice place to visit for an afternoon. Living there is another story.

Based on my experience, 100% agree. Longest I've spent there at once is a week. It was enough. But if you've never been, a tour of the Spanish missions and the food at certain restaurants is enough to make the trip worth it.

Or as I just posted above, find some in his hometown.

 

[Fancy Clown]

LOL, taco bell and chiptole.


Try some authentic tacos

I like to put hot sauce on mine and make it even spicier.

Those look store bought taco-kit tacos, not authentic tacos...

 

[Quikies83]

There's a nice hidden gem in Ridgeland, MS that me and my buddies frequent once a week. Menu is in Spanish and the only person that speaks English in the restaurant is the owner's wife.
Can't go wrong with some Al Pastor taco's for $2 a pop.

Some may find this disgusting... others... heaven

 

[LOLDSFAN]

The TB where I live has gone down hill significantly these past few years. It's a shame since I used to go there a lot like you too.

Keep us posted after your visit OP

 

[squidyj]

Taco Bell and Chipotle? Eat some real tacos.

or don't, I mean it might ruin you forever.

 

[Super_Cobra]

Went to a taco shop in Mexico. Where you literally could choose from 20 different types of tacos. Best tacos I ever had. And on Tuesday was 2 for 1. I miss mexicos tacos.

Of course, update this thread after you have tried some. My suggestions would to at least try al pastor, carne asada, a chicken and maybe a chorizo tacos.

Based solely on photos it looks like your best bet would be: Panaderia La Canasta

 

[Insertia]

Chipotle tacos sound dope. Ill check them out.
My mom made homemade Tacos for my twenty ninth.

You can't eat adobada without lime, man. Or Carnitas.

Colorado has a great place called tatas. Lol, anyway about tortillas. My wife's mom showed me how to make awesome tortillas. Love em.

 

[Robotguy]

Personally I'd be more concerned if you weren't addicted to tacos.

 

[Reversed]

Try some tacos de canasta, you could eat 10 of those bastards and not be done with them.

 

[Blargonaut]

O taco, can lime boom even on the bed tortilla?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

[Randolph Freelander]

From the snow capped mountains to the coral shores
You're the only one my heart adores
You've got three competitors
Tacos, enchiladas, and beans

From the Mississippi to the Amazon
There's not much we don't agree upon
I wish we could get together on
Tacos, enchiladas, and beans

Love them, dozens of them
I consume them by the score
When I'm through, what do I do?
I stamp and holler for more!

You can have the fourth position on my list
I must admit your kisses would be missed
But how in the world could I exist
Without tacos, enchiladas, and beans?
