I’m guessing it’s still the same flavours and beans/rice/meat, but what are the actual dishes like?

    Classic TexMex taco: Hard shell, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, (maybe) sour cream

    Classic Mexican street taco: Corn tortilla (sometimes flour), barbacoa (beef) or carnitas or al pastor (pork), diced onions, cilantro, salsa, (maybe) queso fresco, and avocado (sometimes)

      Synthesis: Tacos with flour tortillas, onions, cilantro, tomato, jalapenos, shredded white cheese, a tiny bit of sour cream, a pinch of lettuce, and any meat, especially lengua and cabeza, are like, so fucking good. Slip some refried beans in there. Try to find room for avocado. Mex-Tex. Ungh.

      I used to go to a build your own tacos place that served roughly 50/50 mexicans and anglos, so they had all the stuff available. Oh man.

      Feel like shit just want them back.

      Edit: Who the fuck is downvoting me, I actually hate you. This was my favorite restaurant and I went practically every week for years, until March when it was fucking instantly killed by COVID and the Mexican immigrant employees had to go pick up plastic bottles. What the fuck is wrong with yall.

      Hard shelled tacos are an abomination. Street tacos are a compelling argument for the existence of god.

      I like Mexican food but cilantro tastes like soap to me and it seems like it's in everything :sadness:
