You know it’s a good taco tour when you go to Los Taco H’s.
I’ve raved about and fawned over their pastor before. It’s as amazing as ever. The carnitas are great as well, offering a simple blank canvas for the world class sauces and accompaniments on offer.
Whoops! Almost missed the memo about the change in starting point. So I’ve rushed to Austin City Taco Co. to join the group for the taco tour and snagged the Eastside Pork. Not bad!
I am a believer in “the way of the taco” and when my buddy Joe told me about Los Tacos Way, I was ready to meet some taco Jedi masters or whatever.
Tucked away in a gas station near the East side of the 820 loop, Los Tacos Way slings some adequate but noon-fancy tacos. Overall a solid, filling meal, would definitely have again, but nothing to go out of the way for.
Leaving town for a hot second, time for airport taco adventures. I’ve never been to a Pappasito’s Cantina before but I’m glad I gave their breakfast menu a try. Super friendly staff, including Julia, who recommended the fajita tacos next visit.
The tacos were really good. I didn’t expect while sausage pieces, and it was tasty, but I think I liked the steak better. It was tender and moist and peppery and the salsa added a light heat and smokiness that rounded out the filling tacos.
I have a lot of regrets, but one of my biggest taco-related ones was not having the tacos from “World Star Chicken and Seafood” before it changed form yet again.
Here are the (admittedly pretty good) chicken tacos from the current iteration, “Bobo Stop”, in the former home of Aymanara Taqueria and other various incarnations in-between. Find it on the corner of Las Vegas Trail and Normandale.
On my outing today I stopped by Snap Kitchen to snag their chicken things tacos to have for dinner.
I jokingly told my friends that I’ve become everything I hate about food critics. You see, Snap has a deal where food that’s on its sell-by date is marked down, and I snagged tacos that were in that predicament. But after mentioning my blog to the cashier, he insisted on swapping them for fresher ones without charging me the difference. I told him he really didn’t have to do that, but he wanted me to have the best possible specimen for tasting.
The verdict? Pretty dang good. The smoky tinga sauce was savory and delicious. The cabbage added some good crunch but not overbearingly so due to being cooked with the taco. The lime wedge added great brightness. I was even impressed by the Paleo tortilla, which reminded me of a corn tortilla in texture but held up better like flour. A bit on the wet and messy side but satisfying and good overall.
Sorry for the dark pics. Last night at Riffamania I ordered some tacos from OMG Tacos via DoorDash.
They were both good. I’m intrigued by the flavor of the OMG Steak but couldn’t put my finger on what exactly brought umami to the party. Will have to try them again!
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.
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.
