What are your favorite taco fillings? Pic related is an al pastor,

>>7955138
babbys first taco

>>7955143
Nah I've had plenty of tacos before

But I would like to learn more about them

>>7955152
the asada and al pastor look like shit desu. Nothing about those tacos scream delicious and fell for the typical /ck/ hole in the wall nonsense where anything new they see is considered a gem.

>>7955169
It's not the best picture, but they were definitely good.

>>7955169
And you can barely see the meat, so how would you know?

>>7955169
I mean to be fair, Its a taco. What else does it need to be delicious?

>>7955138
tripas or tripitas not sure which is right but i love it all the same

>>7955184
I'm pretty adventurous, but I can't bring myself to eat intestines or even stomach

The asada s mostly done on a flattop and not under a grill and the al pastor looks half assed made. probably cooked under a flat top. Taco is probably the most varied street food in the world and half assed tacos isnt going to cut it.

>>7955186
its really worth trying, it reminds me of crispy chicken skin

>>7955188
Yeah it was made on a flattop. But it's not feasible to have a barbecue inside a truck, lol. How did you know though, the meat is barely visible?

>>7955193
Do you like cabeza? Or sesos?

>>7955198
never tried them but itd like to

>>7955195
I pretty much know everything about tacos and I can tell fromwhat I saw that pic everything looked like it was made under a flat top. tortillas aren't home made as well.

They probably wouldn't do well in terms of business in LA

http://la.eater.com/2014/10/15/6978491/tire-shop-taqueria-south-los-angeles-taco-stand-photos-review

This is what asada should look like

>>7955138
I like to ask for all the sides separate and they put it in little bags.

They give
>diced onions
>grilled onions
>a bunch of small whole grilled green onions
>green sauce
>red sauce
>jalapeños & carrot slices (in vinegar)
>a whole grilled jalapeño
>radish

Pretty sure I'm forgetting the stuff I don't use but they hook it the fuck up

>>7955219
Yep, also store bought tortillas

To be fair, the tacos were like 15 minutes old at that point, I was saving them until I got on the train. I'm not sure if that affects their appearance.

>>7955188
Being the most varied in the world obviously youre going tonhavebsome which others think are better than yours. Like how Jose will always say his shit unseasoned halfassed goat taco is better than anything you have.

>>7955222
Yeah they always give me raddishes, lime, salsa verde, salsa rojo, one or two times they included a whole grilled jalapeno.

What does goat meat taste like?

>>7955219
Also, LA has plenty of places like that use store bought tortillas and flat top grill, they tend to be the 1 dollar taco trucks

>>7955249
Those are shit. Carne Asada is hard to find even in the Mecca of tacos in the US. As much as memes go, Chicago's Mexican scene is great and the hand made tortillas to store bought can rival Mexico City's

However LA also has a lot of high quality Mex in addition to meme-Mex

That is so disgusting

>>7955272
The idea may be difficult if you didn't grow up with it, but tongue is delicious when prepared well.

>>7955275
>>7955276
I would eat cabeza, but something about tongue weirds me out. I also didn't like the texture the one time I had it.

I feel bad for you cucks salivating over chicken and dried carnitas taco

>>7955260
Not finishing it on the flattop.

>>7955222
love those pickled carrots

>>7955219
Interesting, I didn't know it was common for Poblanos to run taquerias in Tijuana

Just a normalfag with my filling, rice, ground beef/chicken/fish, with sour cream, cheese, onions, and cilantro. And a little bit of hot sauce

>>7955288
Rice on a taco. Lel

>>7955281
Cabeza is even more delicious. It's my go to if I know the place does it well.

>>7955426
Never heard to tacos placeros?

Baby's first home made corn tortillas. Filling is just meat, onion, cilantro, guacamole,lime and sauce (el yucateco).

Ate some good tacos in Mexico, intestines and shrimp were the best. Chickened out on brain and eyeball though because I'd been sick. Will try if I'm going back some day.
Also everyone says the salsa is el diablo but you never know when it's actually hot.

>>7955436
Is it usually just cheek?

What are some good taquerias in NYC other than Los Tacos #1?

>>7955501
fonda

>>7955222
>no mention of cilantro

Wasted trips, desu

>>7955512
Isn't that a haute Mexican place?

>>7955592
You can call it haute, just what your typical Mex in NYC should look like

>>7955646
But I asked about taquerias

Isn't Fonda like a high end fusion place?

>>7955715
Yes, Fonda is fusion, $6+ tacos. I don't like it, but I guess people do.

>>7955736
There have to be plenty of good, more traditional taquerias. Even in the East Village I'm sure you can find some.

What kind of tacos does Fonda sell, mango glazed elk tacos with injera bread tortillas?

>>7955736
>>7955749
>fusion
Do you know what Mexican is? Mexican is fusion

http://fondarestaurant.com/east-village/

Holy fuck. I can get almost all of this in DF. This is more Mexican than 99.9% of Mexican in the US

>>7955800
do you live in DF?

>>7955789
>Mexican is fusion
Of what? Mexican and wall?

does anybody have a good pork carnitas recipe? I picked up a pork shoulder and want to make some delicious tacos

how are suadero tacos?

>>7955822
Make tinga instead

I've never had a taco. I'll happily trade some muslims for Mexicans/Aztecs

>>7956698
Where do you live? I have to imagine there's at least one authentic Mexican place in every major European city.

>>7955499
Cheek and the rest of the meat from the face/head. Rich as fuck.
>>7955501
This becomes a matter of definition. It's alike asking for good Italian in NYC. Do you mean high end Italian cuisine, good regional Italian cooking or Italian-American? All of that is here, but they're three pretty different things that could all be called "Italian".

When it comes to tacos in NYC the good ones are in the DF/Puebla style. At the high end it's places like Cosme and Empellon al Pastor. At the lower end there are many choices. This list is good:
http://ny.eater.com/maps/best-tacos-taqueria-new-york-city-brooklyn-queens

>>7957165
So does that mean eyeballs, lips, snout, etc.?

And I meant lower end taquerias, I figured higher end places generally wouldn't be considered taquerias even if they sold tacos

>>7957171
It means the meat from the head, so no eyeballs. It's like rich, fatty veal.

And for lower end places the Eater list I posted is pretty solid. I've tried about 1/3 of that list, and all were places I'd recommend. Robert Sietsema doesn't fuck around.

>>7955143
this is why i come here, the constant bullying and hate that is spread.

>>7957204
Have you been to La Morada yet?

>>7957277
It's on my list, but I rarely make it to the Bronx. And when I get there tacos are probably not going to be what I order.

>>7958329
I would definitely get one of the moles or molcajete

Maybe I'd get a taco as an appetizer, though

fucking faggots. just go to DF if you want to experience good tacos

>>7958706
Or live in a place where Puebla and DF has already come to you.
