I have been all over Mexico since 1991, and have different regional specialities and variations of national foods like tacos. In Quintana Roo, Mexico tacos come with pineapple chunks and guacamole sauce spiced with hot habanero peppers. In Guadalajara you can get tacos that look like the attachment below and taste better than anything Taco Bell will ever put out.

Taco Bell has as much to do with Mexican food as Luchables Mini-Pizzas have to do with a Chicago deep-dish.


And what about Enchiladas? Or the vaunted Chimichanga? Chimis are great, all the tastiness of a burrito but fried. Yum!

I have never eaten a Taco or a Burrito...


Some men never live.

Go to the store. Buy a good piece of pork butt. Buy tortillas, I suggest small flower tortillas about 8 inches across. Buy cheese, cabbage, raddishes, onions, garlic, red chile pepper and cumin. And cilantro if you like it.

Cut onions and garlic into small pieces, shred cheese.
Cut the pork into small pieces and cook the garlic and onions in a small pan with olive oil. Then add the cut up pork into the pan, spice liberally with cumin, red pepper, salt and black pepper and cook covered on low heat, until cooked.
Take another pan and let it warm and add a very small amount of oil (not olive oil). Then, toss a tortilla in there and cook until the skin bubbles.
Then place tortilla on a plate, slather with cooked pork (or other meat) and add vegetables. Fold the tortilla and eat hearty.

Easy peasy.
 
All i am gonna say is.


you get yourself down to Santa Barbara, CA. you make your way into the isla vista UCSB housing district. and you go to Freebirds.

there you will experience the most amazing burritos ever. i mean EVER!
the "monster" burrito is like a freaking tree-stump.

i moved away from SB in december, and i have been wanting to go back just to get one more burrito for so long :(
 
How can you forgo that crunchy taco goodness?? That crispy shell crinkling in your mouth is just heaven....
 
I used to think that Tacos had a hard shell, but apparently that's wrong, and now I can't tell the difference between Tacos, Burritos and Fajitas. :confused:

I think we have El Paso Burritos in the supermarket. But you have to buy the outside things and then the filling, such a hassle. But I will try it tonight!
 
This poll is hilarious. I especially love the reply with the poster's choice and then a picture of a Mexican man. OMG.

Taco all the way.

If I were reading this post in the dirty way, my answer would be the same. ;) :p
