Taco Tips & Ordering
๐ฝ Corn vs Flour
Traditional Mexican tacos use corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are more Tex-Mex. Ask for corn for authenticity.
๐ฅ Salsa Bar Rules
Green (verde) is usually hottest. Red (roja) is medium. Pico de gallo is mild. Always taste-test first!
๐ฅฉ Best Meats to Try
Al pastor (marinated pork), carnitas (braised pork), carne asada (grilled steak), lengua (beef tongue), and barbacoa (slow-cooked beef).
๐ Peak Taco Times
Best street tacos are often late-night (after 10pm) or early morning. Weekend breakfast tacos are a Texas tradition.
