looks and sounds delish

>>7728087
Those aren't tacos. That's a cut-open pita pocket.

>>7729635
not what ur mom said last night

How much cilantro do you like in your tacos?

I love tacos, I'd recommend trying tinga and tilapia if you haven't yet

What I like about tacos, aside from being delicious, is all the different fillings available. I always try a new one if possible.

Toasted corn tortillas are more healthy then flour tortillas.

>>7729668
...You mean tostadas?

>>7728087
>beans
way to make ruin your taco

the best tacos areusually that have 1-2 tacos in the menu

>>7729701
That's not true necessarily.

Where are some good spots for taco in NYC?

preferably with lots of variety and more obscure fillings available

I had already eaten one. 4 tongue tacos and 1 flank steak. Not pictured is all the green sauce i put on em.

>>7729742
Are those Puebla style?

>>7729703
this is usually the case in Mexico. You have your experts in carnitas, lamb, al pastor carne asada andfish tacos. with the occasional taco or two thrown in the menu.

>>7729762
It's different in the US, because Mexican food is not the default cuisine like it is in Mexico. A place that sold nothing but one taco variety probably wouldn't stay in business.

>>7729785
>A place that sold nothing but one taco variety probably wouldn't stay in business

That's where you're wrong

>>7729805
Maybe in a predominately Mexican area, but anywhere else they're better off having a variety.

>>7729812
Actually, even in the heavily Mexican neighborhoods where I live, the taquerias all have at least 5 fillings. The truck I go to is from Mexico City and they have 14.

>>7729812
And guess where the best tacos in the US are from? The cities where the Mexicans are the majority. So that goes back to my statement, the best taquerias usually serve 1-2 tacos (maybe 3)

>>7729847
Like I said though, even in the Mexican neighborhoods around here, all the taquerias sell several varieties.

>>7729881
Where?

>>7729909
NYC

>>7729912
Los tacos #1. doing the old tijuana style of adobada and asada.

>>7728083
Is there a Chicago style taco?

>>7729919
That's not the norm in NYC, though

>>7729919
One of the highest rated taquerias in the city.

>>7729919
I wonder if it's ran by people from Tijuana, the vast majority of the Mexicans in NYC are from Puebla and Mexico City

I love tacos. All of them, espcially the crunchy American tacos with ground beef. I alternate taco nights between shredded chicken, pulled pork, and beef with corn tortillas, flour tortillas and hard shells. I eat the most authentic fuckin tacos ever made and I eat the great American invention since hamburgers and I love them all.

only ever get the burritos from taco bell tho their tacos are dogshit

Ich mag diene Mutter

>>7730265
But its the best in NYC or at least top 3.

>>7731367
Possibly one of the best based on reviews, however it is not the norm, 95+% of the places you come across have more variety. Have you ate there, out of curiosity?

And even that place has 4 taco varieties, in addition to 5 quesadilla varieties.

>>7731367
and interestingly, it's the only authentic Mexican place in NYC that I know about which isn't Puebla, DF, or Oaxaca style

>>7731375
I have. and I would say 3 tacos at best since cactus is just a substitute. and what are these taquerias you are eating at?

>>7731479
So cactus is just so that there's an option for vegeterians?

And the places I've ate at, were a taco truck in Brooklyn, a restaurant in Brooklyn, a restaurant in Manhattan, and a taqueria in Queens, however I'm aware of the menus of many other places. They almost always had several taco fillings.

How did you like Los Tacos #1?

>>7733096
Tacos should have a crispy shell, anon.

>>7733105
that's a very pleb thing to say

hard shell tortillas are nowhere near as good as soft corn or flour tortillas

>>7731367
La Morada is considered to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in NYC, and they have a variety of tacos if I'm not mistaken. Although they're known more for their excellent Oaxacan moles than their tacos.

And the salsa: Chile de árbol with grasshoppers

>>7733451
its not a taqueria

>>7733499
let me guess, tijuana?

>>7733579
Well no it's not a taqueria, but it's a highly regarded place and it's authentic as it gets

>>7733579
yes, welcome to hipster heaven

>>7733602
I'm assuming that place is maquina 65 ? I'm almost sure it is. I could be wrong

>>7733600
And I bet they don't specialize in tacos, and since it is Oaxacan restaurant, I doubt they do.

>>7733628
No, they specialize in moles, however their tacos are still said to be very good

>>7733643
If I'm going to eat tacos, I'm not gonna go somewhere that is known for their moles, despite it being authentic or not. With that being said, los tacos#1 tacos are good, on pair with the adobada in tacos el gordo from cali/vegas. I would say better since their tortillas are much better.

>>7733619
It's a hawking center called "El Búnker"

Pour a jar of salsa into a taco salad shell!

Wa La!

Why do people get so uppity about what a "Real" taco is? It's nothing to get upset over.

>>7733930
It's not like we get mad about the thing americans call taco, it's the fact that is the americans that are the ones getting it wrong... then it goes to Europe... then Asia... And in no time everybody thinks that american food is mexican

>>7734115
You must open up restaurants in Europe if you want them to know what real Mexican food is like

kek I just looked up Mexican restaurants in London for fun, there's one called "Mestizo". It seems there actually are some authentic Mexican restaurants in Europe, but nowhere near as many as the US I have to imagine.

>>7729921
No but we have chicago style tortas. nothing like a fresh 'go style 'ta

>>7734124
Why would migrants pay to get there when we can just cross a river?
Plus, all street food has being taken over by arabs, there is no niche for mexican food

>>7734164
Europe and even much of the US is not saturated with Mexican food, therefore setting up business would be a good idea.

Even here in NYC there isn't that much Mexican food outside of taquerias in heavily Mexican neighborhoods. I mean, there's a good amount still but it's not like LA or San Antonio.

>>7733663
I might get a taco to go home or as an appetizer

>>7733643
Go eat take . Order 2 types of mole take pics and make a review

>>7734960
Once I have the money, I will definitely go there and make a thread about it. I'll probably get chicken in mole negro with a tinga taco as an appetizer.

What do you guys put in your tacos?

My favorite way to do them is to get some cheap ass beef, cube steak or stewing beef or whatever, stab the shit out of it with a fork, then boil that in veggie broth and spices. Right when it's finished, I pull it out with a slotted spoon, pull it apart like pulled pork, then throw it back in the broth to simmer while I get everything else ready.

Then I get some pico de gallo, a kind of sweet herb slaw (whatver I have in my garden + whatever I have in my fridge + lime + rice vinegar and another ingredient that escapes me at the moment) and plain avocado. If I'm doing burritos I do pretty much the same thing but add Spanish rice. Good eatin'

I like adobada pork.

>>7734962
don't play it safe and try two types of mole. try their black and white. 30 isnt much for good foodd

>>7735527
I can't finish all that food lol

http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2014/01/la-morada-mole-blanco-oaxacan.html

Go try the white mole first. I didn't think Mole blanco was really an Oaxacan dish. Mole de novia is a central mexican dish usually made in weddings (mostly in oaxacan dish).There is mole blanco in LA, but not in Oaxacan restaurants. But yeah, go try that first.

>>7735596
I meant mostly in tlaxcala *************

>>7735596
So is it Oaxacan or not? Either way I hear all their moles are really good. Have you actually tried any of them yourself?

>>7735596
Is Mole de Novia the same thing as Mole Blanco?

>>7735610
>>7735604
Mole de novia is mole blanco. Was actually made in angelica vale's wedding, and it only known in central mexico but many dishes are claimed to be from oaxaca whle others say it is from puebla/central mexico (manchamenteles for example). I havent been to la morada but I'm sure their moles are good, the original cook is a mayora from oaxaca.

>>7735636
Do you live in New York?

>>7735640
Nope but been there a couple of times. Glad to see that Mexican is getting the exposure there, especially with Enrique Olvera opening his restaurant 2 years ago. el altodaero is good old school home made cuisine and black ant is great haute mexican. fonda is overrated.

>>7735687
are those the 3 Mexican restaurants you went to?

>>7728307
Agreed. Served these in a shit hole on the east cost of Baja California and we're wtf but was damned good.

if youve been there they cut it off a giant rotating piece of meat then fry it all together..its their gimmick

>>7734258
Thank you greatest Ally. You just informed me of a new business opportunity

>>7736757
Actually 8 in total. . I've had a good impression overall in NYC but stilll far ahead from what Ive eaten in Chicago or LA

>>7728083
Tacos are only good if they have lime squeezed onto them.

>>7739048
'no'

>>7739042
Do you mean far behind? And where do you live normally?

what is your favorite Oaxacan mole?

Nope..

>>7742449
he reversed it by mistake I think. But NY is underrated, people don't realize we have a huge Mexican population here.
