I’ve heard people say that good seafood is supposed to taste like the sea, but never quite got it until this shrimp taco. The shrimp was tender, didn’t have any of that chewiness or firmness most shrimp has, and had this ocean-like smell and taste. There was a bright, sweet jalapeno glaze, and fresh cilantro and cabbage… so good.
Oh, and there was a pretty decent vegetarian taco there as well. :)

Diosa Vegan Taqueria never ceases to amaze with their dual love of plant based food and flavor in general. Their pastor deserved a retry because every time I try after the first time it’s been phenomenal, and they’ve earned five stars.
The governor shrimp really felt and treated like real shrimp, but I’m not sure the shrimp and cheese combo was my jam. Would love to see it paired with the bold pineapple flavor like their pastor instead
For a hot second before local breweries reopened, Bad Spanish Tacos was doing special taco deliveries a couple days a week. I tried a few of the options and found the smoked pastor to be my favorite.
Had these brisket tacos yesterday at Austin City Taco Co. Lots of confused friends thinking I was actually in Austin when I told them about these. Nope. On University just north of West 7th in FW, where The Grotto used to be.
Honestly if I knew the tacos would be this good if have encouraged The Grotto to close down sooner. Smoky, savory brisket that was tender but still had some tooth to it. Darn good fixins on each. Revolution just needed a bit more brightness.
Huge props to Hoang’s Noodle House for massively upgrading their taco game since my last encounter. These fried shrimp tacos were a bit pricy but worth it.
Taco selfies, rubber stamps, and a friendly manager and bartender really complemented the tacos at Bartaco tonight.
For my second visit, I tried the current secret taco, which was a pretty decent scallop taco with a corn relish that added great sweetness and creaminess. The shrimp taco was alright as well, but a bit more low key.
Best pastor tacos I’ve had so far ever, and I got a swarthy Mexican short order cook to slip me the tongue. (Lengua!) Los Tacos H is legit.
Sometime in recent memory, Velvet Taco revamped their brunch menu offerings, and I finally got around to trying the new offerings.
But first, that cheese steak taco. Wow! Real cheese steak taste and the mushrooms packed that extra earthy, meaty flavor and texture. Good stuff.
Of the two egg laden tacos, the steak one really spoke to me. I’ve never had a proper steak and egg breakfast but I can see the appeal now. Toss in microgreens and peppers for lightness and vibrance and you’ve got a winner.
Pretty, delicious, need I say more?
Bad Spanish Tacos made a hell of a set of tacos for their pop-up tonight at Wild Acre. All were deliciously smoky, well-seasoned, and generously piled on freshly made tortillas.
My favorites were the carnitas and chicken, but the vegetarian option is fantastic as well, and omnivores without constraints should try all four!
Thursday I returned to Austin City Taco Co with Commissioner Lee from Riffamania to talk tacos and comedy. Scored a free ticket to episode three, coming up at MASS next week!
The SoCo and Midnight Craving were both alright. They were probably better with hot sauce as they each provided a sort of black canvas for flavor, the latter utilizing it partially to showcase the bacon jam.
Birrieria & Taqueria Cortez is one of two local trucks that sprang up and into popularity recently in Fort Worth. Even just after opening for the day, they quickly gathered a full line of cars waiting for tacos.
They were really, really good. Almost like mini quesadillas, three tacos were pliable and filled with cheese and beef. They were savory, beefy, rich, and creamy from the cheese. I almost didn’t mind the juices and grease spilling out onto my shirt and seatbelt.
Definitely worth a visit, just make sure you have napkins or wet wipes on your visit.
