Favorite Taqueria?

[mrpc]

Mexican food lovers, where is your favorite local Taqueria? Mine is in Foresville, Calif. Best Tostada I've ever had.

[Bethelbass1]

My choice is La Juanita's in Sioux City, IA. You'd be surprised the quality of Mexican food you can get in the Midwest.

I've enjoyed many a great taco in Mexico City - the best I've ever had. I don't remember exactly where any of them were, as I was also enjoying the local tequila and mezcal at the time .

I'm due back there for a family wedding in November...yum

Ill go with one here on a beach here in Puerto Escondido, Mex also a no-namer. Theres a couple stellar ones in the Mission street area of SF that have 5dollar Carne Asada plates that I would kill for.

[Damon Rondeau]

You guys are making me hungry and jealous. That food! It all seems to stop at the northern border. If there's any decent Mexican food in these parts I've never heard about it. A crying shame.

Living at the edge of the Mission in San Francisco, I've yet to find a taqueria that's brilliant all around. I wind up going one place for carnitas, another for al pastor etc.

I can understand that. However I'm addicted to the Carne Asada from the El Tonayense taco trucks. Mmm.... roach coach!

Something about the green sauce they add to their burritos keeps me coming back. If you haven't been, they're up and down Harrison Street and well worth a try.

[Aaron Cohn]

The El Tonayense trucks are definitely good. For a different kind of taco check out the La Palma Mexicatessen at 24th and Florida. Not really a taqueria but a deli/dry goods store. They make nice, thick handmade tortillas there. About $2.50 for a huge taco with beans in addition to the usual meat and salsa etc. Try the carnitas. Nowhere to sit and eat, but that's no big deal to me.

Jalisco Burrito (there are three that I know of in the south suburbs of Chicago). Try the lomo burrito....

Tecalitalan on Chicago Ave. near Ashland also gets my vote when I'm too far away from Jalisco. I love Chicago, you're never far away from some pretty da** good eats!!

[fingers]

The diversity of food you can get here is amazing. You can get any kind of food any time of day or night.

I live around the corner from Tecalitalan. I love eating there. It is kind of a sit down place though. There are a few really good and fast taquerias around here. I really dig La Pasadita on Ashland just south of Division. They are open late too.

There is also the tamale guy that makes the rounds of all the bars in the Wicker Park area. Man they are good. Mmmm.

"The Big Burrito" - Canoga Park, CA

The name is lame but their food is awesome and authentic.

[Aaron Cohn]

I should also mention that La Altena on Mission between 29th and 30th in San Francisco
a. Is about half a block from my door.
b. Has good al pastor.
c. Is often open at post-gig hours.
For these reasons it's definitely among my favorites.

[Jake deVilliers]

There's a Taco truck owned by Mexicans that parks in a lot on the west side of the Guide Meridian between Lynden and Bellingham that serves absolutely first-rate food at ridiculous prices.

Their green salsa is the best I've ever tasted.

And yes, I've eaten in Mexico!

[jumbosilverette]

It's not a taqueria, it's a taco stand, but I like Henry's Tacos in North Hollywood.

[gnergaard]

Man,
I know it's kind of pathetic, but I'm so happy to see my fellow Chicagoans REPRESENT (!!!) on the taco.
There is a reason why Chicago was voted "most obese" major city in a recent magazine article...many reasons. TASTY reasons.
My vote is Taqueria La Pasadita on Ashland and Cortez, Chicago, IL 60622.
Yes, yes y'all.
It' weird, but there are 3 La Pasaditas on the same block all owned by the same family (long story). My pick is the one with the yellow and black sign, furthest south. They have the Salsa Negra made with fire roasted Jalepeno peppers, and steak that has made me question my decision to be a vegetarian on numerous occasions...usually at 3am after a long gig...
Holy Shiznit! That's all I can say. I'm sure the stuff in Mexico City is a whole 'nuther level, but everything else I've had north of there, including California (WHAT-everrrrr!) doesn't match up.
The only thing I can't find easily, on every corner, in Chicago are good Tacos De Pescado, but I'm looking...

[gkbass13]

Bomber's or Garcia's in Albany, NY

[mje]

Taqueria Lupita, in Detroit, on Bagley. But be prepared for some hostility on occasion from locals who don't want Anglos in their hangout...
