When I was in Nicaragua a few weeks ago I was in this restaurant that served tacos. They came three per plate so I asked for two of pastor and one of chorizo... and the waitress came back with two whole orders of pastor and one order of chorizo.

Nine tacos is definitely too many tacos.

There was a time when 6 would be not enough. However now days I find 2 just right.

Tacos ! I hate Tacos - not because of the taste, but becasue of the poor logistics. Even the soft tacos are a crappy way to package mexican food. Burritos - now that's how it should be done.
(banging on roach-coach counter) "where's my burrito?! where's my burrito?!"
The pics are nice and the marekting strategy seems robust.

Well put. Burritos is where it's at. I could have them for every meal, for the rest of my life.

They should've al least had classy tacos piled high with guacamole and fresh lime juice. None of this greasy fried folded crap. I'm not a fan of the hard shells.

...I'm hungry.

Science friction burns my fingers.

Baja Marty and I are going for Charro Chicken for dinner tonight, before
the Verb show.

MMMMMMM Chicken Burritos.

The thing with tacos and what most non-Mexicans know as "Mexican food" in general is that a very little number of people know the REAL DEAL. Almost no one in the U.S. or any other country other than Mèxico(except for the adventurous tourists that dare to go to the real mexican food joints when they visit Mèxico) has ever tried the real thing. From what I have experienced and seen, most of the "Mexican food" available on the U.S. are far from the original recipes, they're like a bad interpretation . It's really a shame. Take Taco Bell as an example. Taco Bell doesn't even exist in Mèxico. This is more or less what a real taco looks like, depending on what you want on it, this is a classic "taco de carnitas con todo"
it means "carnitas taco with everything"

If someone visits Mèxico City and wants to know some good places where you can eat the good stuff please PM me.

P.S. Sorry if this sounds too aggressive or harsh but it's the truth. No offense intended.

P.S. 2 : There's no such thing as too many tacos.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Green. You can't beat the real thing. Unfortunately that's hard to find in the US. You just need to know where to look.
I've talked with people who thought that burritos are authentic Mexican food and that tacos originated in the States. From my experience, burritos are extremely rare in Mexico--something of an attempt to appease outsiders--and are never any good. (Why should they be? They're not real Mexican food) In fact, for the record, I've never had a good burrito outside the state of California.

There's lots of authentic Mexican food in California, and probably all over the Southwestern US. There are a lot of Mexicans here, after all. You just have to find the small family-run businesses and avoid the big Americanized chain restaurants.

I agree, but here in OC, and in LA and also down in San Diego area there are plenty of places that make tacos that look just like that.
I can eat them, but I prefer to have the shell deep fried. to make it crispy.
But I hate the preformed ones like at taco bell, those just taste like tortilla chips.
damn now I gotta go get some.
