I am originally a Las Vegas guy where there is never a problem finding a really good taco joint, one place in particular, Roberto’s, is a world class taco joint. Now I spend most of my time in Salt Lake and Seattle and let’s just say that finding world class taco joints is not as easy. And then I found Señor Taco in Bellevue and I have not been this happy since Dublin Dr. Pepper was still open selling 10oz glass bottle Dr. Pepper with real pure cane sugar but that is another story all together. Señor Taco had an item on the menu called a soft taco but it is what I traditionally call a street taco, they can call it whatever they want as long as they keep selling them. Corn Shells, Carne Asada Steak, a little Onion and some Cilantro and you have perfection, I am not exaggerated, these tacos were awesome. I ordered mine with the Carne Asada Steak but a guy one table over from me was saying how amazing the Chicken was soooooooo, I can’t wait to try the Chicken!! I also had a plain cheese quesadilla with some Pico De Gallo with my meal, it was perfectly cooked and delicious!! The Pico looked and tasted fresh and homemade. I talked with the owner who took my order and he seems like a great guy, spent time taking care of all his customers and just seemed to enjoy being a restaurant owner. He told me his name was Rich and his wife is Paulina (I hope I spelled that correctly). The restaurant was clean but a little warm, plenty of places to sit, the owners were awesome and the food was amazing. I think I will be eating here often!!! Until next time my fellow Yelpers, …….. Be Local, ………. Live Local, and whenever possible ………. BUY Local!!!!

Señor Taco – Menu with Prices – 1929 North Power Road #, 105 # 105, Mesa

Senor Taco is a taste-better alternative to the world of Filiberto’s and all the knockoffs. That single statement sums up the Senor Taco food line up, monster entrees and decent pricing. What you will find are burritos, tacos and other items that compare reasonably to Filiberto’s but are both better tasting and somewhat unique. The first time guest should try the carne asada burrito which is a strong item. People who are hungry could try the California Surfin burrito- a massive entree with carne asada, shrimp and French fries in a burrito wrap. Crazy fun and tasty. For those who can eat an entire cow in one sitting, I dare you to try to finish off a Senor Burrito. This double wrapped carne asada burrito with potatoes and lots of other goodies has got to be at least 2 lbs of shear burrito glory. Not for the weak. The chips are tasty, and the salsa bar is very good, well kept and fresh. The flavors are a bit spicier than the other fast food Mexican chains, but they are just perfect. I love the medium red salsa. Prices are reasonable, with most burritos staying between 5-8 dollars, but the monster teo I mentioned above range all the way to $10, which is still a great deal if you consider the humungous volume for those items. The staff is quick and polite, and your order will be ready pretty fast. Everything is made to order so it could be 5 min for some things but you’ll be eating in no time. This place is the best fast food Mexican available.

Tacos El Cuate De Obregon – Menu with Prices – 4817 S 12th Ave, Tucson

What a gem this taco truck is. We hit it up before heading out to Beerfest in Tempe. I can only speak to the Sonoran dogs and the carne asada, but WOW WOW wow… wow.. ok. The Sonoran dogs are really great! I have had sonoran dogs from BK, El Guero, Karamelo King, etc. Their Sonoran dogs are just as good, if not better. They also include a bacon wrapped cheese filled pepper with the dogs… those are pretty fantastic as well. The carne asada I ordered came in two forms… tacos and a caramello. I think I was hungry that day. The carne asada is legit here, and believe me, I order carne asada from every Mexican place I hit up. I just have to say, if you happen to be driving by and wanting some good taco truck food, don’t pass this one up. Oh, I am pretty sure it is cash only as well.

Taqueria El Nuevo Perico #2 – Menu with Prices – 3702 E Chapman Ave, Orange

This taqueria is definitely delicious and authentic. The Carne Asada taco was very juicy and well seasoned and they use flour tortillas. The street tacos come with cilantro and onion on top with a side of grilled onion and radishes. I also bought the taco combo with carne asada (picture) which comes with rice, beans, and the onions. The Al Pastor taco (in the picture) was really tasty and juicy. The best part of this restaurant is that none of the meats were dry, but they’re a bit overpriced. However, the tacos are a bit larger than small corn tortilla tacos. There are definitely tastier tacos for cheaper if you’re willing to drive further out of Orange, but for a local, fast service taco, this is an excellent choice. There is also a lot of seating here and the place is large and clean, including a restroom.

Aloha Tortilla Factory & Cafe – Menu with Prices – 1 Aloha Tower Dr, Honolulu

Almost a bit embarrassed to say this…but guess where I had my very first authentic taco?! Well I’ll give you a huge hint, It was here ? Well of course this place puts Taco Bell to shame. This is where all the real tacos are at! I have always wanted to try this place out, most especially because it is right on campus (I am an HPU student). FOOD: blownnn blown blown away. I ordered the 3 tacos plate that comes with the meat of the day & my choice of side (brownie), and paired it with an unsweetened mango tea. Yum yum yummmmm! The meat of the day was chicken & carne asada. I chose one chicken and two carne asada. The chicken taco was delish…but wow did the carne asada reallllllyyyy take me away. I also love that the tacos were wrapped, it made eating the tacos easier and less messy. SERVICE: Being that the food is made fresh and this place is run by two people, I believe one was the cook, it was a bit of a wait. I maybe waited 10-15 minutes…but it was well worth it. The people who run this place are so very friendly as well. There are a few shaded tables outside ? I already can’t wait to eat here again.

Ricos Tacos De Jalisco – Menu with Prices – 396 S Mt Vernon Ave, San Bernardino

We ordered a Carne Asada Torta, carne Asada sope, and a carne Asada taco. It was all pretty good and could be worth a return. Still looking to find a great spot so for now this up there in my list of good places to eat. It’s pretty lively at night and the champurrado was delicious but pricey $2.95 for a small. My total order was around $16.45 which is my only issue it’s pretty expensive for the area.

Tipzys Tacos – Menu with Prices – 3848 E Belmont Ave, Fresno

It’s ok. We tried a variety: Carne asada tacos: meat was kinda bland,my wife’s taco had burned bits. Chicken tacos: bland, no flavor really at all Shrimp tacos: my favorite of the three, but that’s not saying much. Carne asada quesadilla: my son said the one from Taco Bell is as good. Asada fries: crinkle cut frozen fries with mozzarella cheese and carne asada. Fine because we were hungry. Probably wouldn’t have rung bells if we weren’t starved. Chips – you get a basket of chips with paprika or chili powder on them. They are $1.25 and you don’t get anything with them. Don’t get me wrong, they have a salsa bar but they only had tiny little cups- like 2tsp – to put salsa in and wouldn’t give us anything bigger. Super lame, that. As far as the actual salsas- the pico was the best thing about this dinner. Jalapeños were tiny- good knife skills- so you got that yummy fresh pop of hot without it being overwhelming. The ancho chili salsa is good, my wife said the green one was good. The carrots looked gross, I didn’t get any. The cabbage was diced, which I thought was weird. It was also in a container filled to the brim with water. Maybe to keep the cabbage fresh but anything I put cabbage on (how I usually like my tacos) tasted predominantly like water. Not good. No fountain drinks, you buy by the can (or bottle for water) and drink it from the can/bottle. We didn’t have any beer. Murals were beautiful, the rest of the decor was dated and uncomfortable.

La Casa del Pan con Lechón – Menu with Prices – 2795 W 78th St, Hialeah

I usually don’t order take out on weekdays but I got home later than usual and definitely did not feel like cooking. Browsing through the options on Uber Eats, I decided to try something different. The prices were very reasonable so we decided to order some taco salads which came out to less than $20. For the price I was not expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how massive they were. The salads come in a fried tortilla bowl loaded with lettuce, pico de gallo, rice, beans topped with melted cheese and the protein of your choice with a side of guacamole and sour cream. They also provide tortilla chips on the side with red and green salsa. Ridiculously good deal. We have been ordering from them fairly frequently. What I Recommend: -Taco Salad: If you’re really hungry this is definitely a great choice. I love the carne asada taco salad while my boyfriend prefers the chicken one. Both proteins are seasoned and cooked to perfection. -Chicken Quesadilla: Comes with pico de gallo and tortilla chips. The chicken is really the star of this quesadilla. -Chicken Soup: Homemade, made from scratch chicken soup. So damn good. Served with a side of white rice for only $5. -Nachos: This is definitely something better to have at the restaurant since the chips can get a little soggy after a while but they are great. Fully loaded with shredded cheese, meat, beans and pico. Definitely a meal for two. This is place is like Taco Bell’s mom who is wholesome and likes to cook everything from scratch without crazy preservatives or ingredients she can’t pronounce which I appreciate.

Pinch a Taco 2 – Menu with Prices – 5005 S MacDill Ave, Tampa

I was on this side of the Bay and came here on a whim for lunch. I grew up in Southern California, where burritos and tacos are abundant. It’s simple, flavorful, quick, and delicious and cheap. After living in Florida for 6 years I’ve pretty much given up on Mexican food… until now! The menu is simple. A few meats to choose from and you pick your delivery method (taco, burrito, torta etc. My first time here I had 5 tacos, a variety of carne asada, pastor, pollo asado, and shrimp. All 5 were magnificent. The meat was fresh and flavorful, served on a corn tortilla (flour is available too), with onions and cilantro. I got them to go and got both red and green salsa. After one bite I knew I finally found a taco shop. A few weeks later I had a carne asada burrito. It was. A similar experience as far as nostalgia. Beans, meat, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a little lettuce. I think I’d prefer tacos next time, but the burrito was amazing none the less. Both times I washed my meal down with a large horchata. It’s a sweet cold cinnamon rice drink. Trust me, you can’t go wrong. I’ll definitely be back soon, and looking forward to trying their ceviche.

Tacos Fiesta Mexicana – Menu with Prices – 4200 Peralta Blvd, Fremont

OK, first and foremost I’m not ashamed, I’m not scared, nor am I intimidated to order food from a food truck. Such mixed feelings when it comes to food trucks… I get it, I’ve heard many war stories from co-workers about the thin line you walk when ordering food from a food truck. I’ve been told to never eat from a food truck on Mondays because they use the remnants of the weekend’s leftovers, I’ve been told there all just glorified “roach coaches”, yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah and that could all be true, but not at Fiesta Mexicana….I think…..I hope. When it comes to taco trucks, Fiesta Mexicana is legit! I keep it pretty simple and straightforward. I’m not a taco truck connoisseur, nor do I go to multiple locations unless I’m captivated by the scent of a lone taco truck grilling up some carne asada from afar. Usually while I’m washing my car or waiting outside of a local DMV office. For the most part only one, this one, and it’s usually when I’m fresh off work. I come here when I have a specific taste for street style carne asada tacos and to my delight Fiesta Mexicana usually comes through with piping hot well garnished corn tortillas stuffed with carne asada, cilantro, onions and a combination of pickled jalapeños and carrots. A quick lunch fix with hard to beat prices. $1.75 for a taco…Not bad in my opinion. Fiesta Mexicana is a clean, well kept, consistent taco truck that offers tacos, burritos, quesadillas to the local Fremont community. Keep up the good work Fiesta Mexicana for I am a repeat offender. p.s.- CASH ONLY

Bohemian Latin Grill – Menu with Prices – 3341 NE 32nd St, Fort Lauderdale

I would seriously give this restaurant 10 stars if I could! As it happened, we were newly arrived to Ft. Lauderdale and had been told we should go to a sports bar not far from our hotel. En route, we passed a funky little joint called 4:30 Boardroom Bar, and just a foot farther, a sandwich sign advertising Taco Tuesday $2.00 sitting in front of an unassuming little storefront called Bohemian Latin Grill. Now, not ones to pass up a Taco Tuesday opportunity, we grabbed a couple of beers from 4:30 BB, a couple of chairs outdoors, then popped into BLG to place an order. I ordered two carne asada tacos with cilantro and onions, paid the $4.33, and was told they’d bring them outside to us. A couple of minutes and one bite later, I was completely speechless. It’s important to note that I’ve eaten a LOT of authentic tacos in my life growing up in southern California, Texas, and traveling through Mexico. This freakin’ taco was AMAZING. The meat was so tender and melted in my mouth so quickly I barely needed to chew. The flavor of the marinade was unlike anything I’m familiar with (of course, that’s the first time I’ve eaten steak since I was a small child), but I wanted more!!!! Next we ordered two chorizo tacos with cilantro and onions. Spicy and still juicy, we were extremely impressed with these as well. The salsa accompaniment with both sets was available in mild and hot. We opted for the hot and found it to be very flavorful without removing your taste buds. Three nights later we basically RAN back for a late night snack after having just gotten off the water taxi (review posted). This time we ordered the nachos (because a patron at 4:30 BB had recommended them on Tuesday), and two more carne asada tacos. The nachos are piled high with a deliciously creamy cheese sauce, black beans, pico de gallo, and generous pile of guacamole, I added the carne asada as well. Boy was I ever a happy, happy girl! I literally sat there licking my fingers – AGAIN! There are so many items on the menu at Bohemian Latin Grill that I cannot wait to try the next time we’re in Florida. Until then, I can dream of the day I once again get to enjoy such amazingly fresh and authentic food.

Little Vice – Menu with Prices – 3317 E 7th St, Long Beach

I was hoping for more from this adorable new restaurant in town. The decor couldn’t be cuter. It’s bright, vibrant, and full of interesting patterns. They have a fun bar and cute outdoor patio, although the sun was right in our eyes during sunset. I would call this a hipster/skater modern Mexican restaurant. They have a good cocktail menu and even craft beer flights. I could see myself coming back for some drinks. Unfortunately we didn’t think the food was very good. Shrimp Quesadilla: This was super tasty! We loved it. And it was the first thing we ordered so it really set our expectations high. The garlic butter poached shrimp were juicy and plentiful amongst the 3-cheese blend. The tortilla was perfectly crisped and we enjoyed the unique topping of pineapple pico, pickled red onions, cilantro and cotija cheese. Chips and Salsa: This was $6!!! And It wasn’t even good! We got the salsa verde. It was super thick, like a paste. And it was really sour. Too much tomatillo perhaps? We didn’t even want this. It was a misunderstanding when we asked a different server for a side of salsa to dip our quesadilla in. But my bf wanted to pay for it instead of clearing it up. Pollo Asado Taco: Grilled chicken topped with caramelized onion, cilantro chimichurri and cotija cheese. This was $5 and we were told that it was “packed full” but honestly I thought it was worth $3.50 tops. My bf liked this but I didn’t like the texture of the chicken. It might have been thigh meat. Carne Asada Torta: Their tortas are served on amazing Gusto Bread made right in Long Beach. The bread was great on its own but much too dense for a torta. I liked this better than the taco but the bread sort of overtook it and I think there was mayo on it which I wasn’t a fan of. The carne asada wasn’t bad but was a tad overcooked. I’m sort of surprised to see all the super high reviews. Maybe the food was too hip for me? Maybe we came on a bad night? I wouldn’t mind coming back for a drink and the quesadilla but that’s about it. Without drinks we spent $50.
