Again, very confused.

Rule of thumb - if you're paying more than $3 for a taco, you're doing it really ******* wrong

No I definitely get that haha. I was just pointing out that if you are eating tacos on flour tortillas, those aren't tacos. Corn or you're just eating small, poorly rolled burritos.

Edit: I haven't been to Rey Azteca since high school, and I was either drunk and/or stoned any time I was there. But I remember really loving it.

 

[preluderl]

Meh, give me flour. I get the whole authenticity thing, but I don't care for corn tortillas.

Resident Mexican chiming in - the only places worth mentioning here are La Palapa, Las Palmas, and Reyna's/Edgar's. Taako, Smoke, Round Corner, and that half vegan place on the northside don't even belong in the conversation. I would rather get plain steak tacos from Emilanos, Mad Mex, Campesinos, etc before a $6 kimchi dust wagyu hamburger tacos with local feta served in a flour tortilla from the latter four any day of the week.

Some ******* things in life should be sacred - and one of those things are tacos.

Tell us how you really feel.

I enjoy all of the places you mentioned.

I'll see myself out.

Might want to stop by the hardware store today for one of these as well -

I'll eat seafood tacos on flour but that's it. And even then...

I make my own tacos as much as I go out to get them. My favorite ones to make are my La Lengua and Al Pastor hybrid. I basically just take the recipe for Tacos Al Pastor and sub in tongue for pork. Is this sacrilegious?

I think it's....

Too far away. Laying in traffic is a quicker option.

Rey Azteca's my fave too, but I'll cop to being a plebe when it comes to Mex. I'm far more apt to choose a place based on its draft list.

yes, but alcohol poisoning would be more fun.

Bea's Taco Town on Banksville is pretty awesome. I've been there for lunch 4 or 5 times since they opened last month. I haven't had any of the meat yet because all of the vegetarian tacos and burritos have been so good.

Nah, when I do Al Pastor I'm doing the whole shebang. Pineapple and all.

When I just make La Lengua, I use a dick ton of cilantro, onion, lime, avocado, and the green habanero hot sauce.

Corn tortillas only for La Lengua.

I trust your opinion and will be going there soon

Where on Banksville? Please tell me it's not that building with the revolving sad handmade banners (or it may be innately doomed)? I mean the place that was a pizza place (at least once) and an Indian place (maybe twice)?

We've since moved, but I was so excited to have nearby Indian place (the first time), but, by the time I made it down there, it was another pizza place again.

Bea's has a location on Smithfield St downtown too. That little cup of stuff that they give you is insanely hot. Last time I tried it I'm pretty sure it scorched my intestines.

Doesn't Pittsburgh have a bridge or two to jump off?

This thread is great for the eccentrics. One day we are talking about underrated guitarists, the next tacos. Whats the topic for tomorrow?

 

[troygreer]

Oh hey, Matthouse3 is here

I think this thread needs an IRC channel

Do you also hate cinnamon, cacao, vanilla, coconut, coffee, berries, etc in your stouts? Go back to RateTaco.

I'm not sure which place you're talking about, but Bea's is across the street from Banksville beer, just a little bit closer towards the city. Aren't there a few indian places on Banksville? I've been meaning to try those as well.

Are you going to put wagyu and kimchi on your taco and make wyckydsceptre pay for it?

There needs to be a Taco and Tome day sometime. Al Pastor is my favorite, and La lengua isn't far behind.

I love Rey's. Eat there every time I go home. Also Burger Hut II (the one on the hill) and Natili's downtown.

Printemps would pair damn well with some tacos...
