Always wanted to try that truck in the bad neighborhood but too scared to without any recommendations?
Just holla at The Inspector!
Please include name and address of taco establishment, as well as your name and city.

Hey R Dub! I go to Chandler, AZ every year and have a favorite taco place to recommend you for a review if you are in the area:
ReplyDeleteElmer's Tacos
355 N Arizona Ave
Chandler, AZ 85225
(480) 963-6763
Damn fine Carne Asada...very juicy, no burnt pieces, and full of flavor. Comes with a tasty green sauce, onions, and cilantro. Off the hook. I am an authentic Mexican style taco freak like you and wouldn't recommend some junk. The only downside is the Horchata is a bit watery. But the tacos are top notch.
Take care,
Ryan
Hey this is Alan from Lakewood Colorado recommending you Tacos Rapidos on Evans and Federal. Delicious, so check it out and tell me how you like it. Later!
ReplyDeleteJajaja Mr. Inspector, in Mexicali take a cab and tell the guy to take you to the Plaza Cachanilla, inside there is a food court that has tacos, tortas sopes, and other restaurants, please give it a try, I woul like to dethrone Nogales, as the best taco location Mr. Inspector, Thank you for your job Inspector but you need to venture a little further down to taste the best tacos en Mexicali!

I heard these are some good tacos, been at the same spot for about 15 years & may have to shut down due to city regulations.
Adam Russi
if you are ever in mexicali, you need to check out an establishment called Las Brasas. the place has been there for about ten years and its the best tacos i've ever had and i've been through at least 7 states in mexico. if you don't enjoy your taco, i'll reimberse you... not really, but i go there every time i'm there.

In case you ever come back to the "DR", check out Taquito Mexicano in La Romana. Its off Libertad street close to the Jumbo supermarket. Any taxi driver or motoconcho will know how to get you there.

Hey there – I’m a taco lover and after sampling many of the trucks around town, I fell upon a hidden gem called LA CASA GRANDE, it used to park up Lankershim a few blocks north of Sherman Way. They had the most succulent meat and tasty salsa, when ordering tacos they came topped with perfectly cooked grilled onions and a delicious bean tostada. I seriously used to eat dinner there 3 times a week; about two months ago I went for my regular visit only to not find it parked there anymore. At first I thought maybe the proprietors were on vacation or taking the night off, so I went to TEXCOCO instead. But after two weeks of attempting to find the truck I realized it had moved to another location.
ReplyDeleteIf you get to Colorado Springs find the taco truck, it is the bomb, minimum 4 1/2 star

Dub, if you get a chance, swing by the new joint on Wilmot called "El Taco Tote" You will dig it since you like Carne Asada, they actually GRILL it there! Instead of frying it like most places. Plus delicious home-made grilled tortillas and a huge, fresh topping bar!
ReplyDeleteTry Taqueria Mi Casita in Chandler, AZ .... it's small, basic, no salsa bar, but they give a lot of meat, the tortillas are good, and the staff very friendly.

At Inglewood best taco place to go is at Acosta Tacos try Lax tacos didnt like it but love their Tortas
ReplyDeleteHi! The BEST tacos are in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in a neighborhood called 'Provincias de Canada' -- the restaurant is a red and white cafe located on a residential street corner on Calle Yukon... it's called LA GRINGA. They have the best TACOS AL PASTOR in the wooooooorld. hands down. Easiest way to get there is by taxi from the city center.

If u ever get the chance to go to canoga park, ca. u have to try the tacos at the big burrito. they have two roach coaches at lanark park on topanga blvd and the actual restaurant is close by too. maybe two miles away on canoga blvd north of saticoy. try it out.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr Taco inspector! how are u doing look i recently opened a family business were we cook nothing but homestyle food we started of with a little menu of Tacos and mulitas and still till now its been our main dish even though everything else we have is delicous i would love for u to come and check my place out. We use for our asada tacos flap meat AKA Ranchera from costco or sams which is usda choice or higher and our tacos are TJ style which are served with onions,cilantro,salsa and guacamole. We take longer to serve because we make our tacos on the spot our mulitas are dilicous and big also i have flour tortilla and corn tortilla for our tacos

For real tacos, of course, nothing like tacos los campas en San Luis Rio Colorado Sonora, but I suggest you try Asadero El Toro in Phoenix. It's right on 17th AVenue and McDowell, right across from the fairgrounds. They're the best out in the phoenix area.

Hello, R DUB, my name is Matthew Riggs. I live in Lancaster Ca. I grew up in Sylmar, Ca also known as San Fernando Valley. All my life i have had really GOOD TACOS living in SF valley, except when i moved to Lancaster, Ca. Ive had to deal with piss poor taco place out here like Mi Ranchitos! Which i saw your review it was so true!!! Mi Ranchitos is so horrible it do even want tacos after driving passed it. All the other places out there suck badly to! Except ONE! Im so happy there is a NEW place out here called Los Gordos Mexican Restaurant (use to be Los Gordos Tacos)! this is honestly one of the best taco place i have ever been too! Great Carne Asada Tacos! Great unique shrimp Tacos i have never had before. My girl friend is fully Salvadorean and her family even agrees its the best place out in the Palmdale and Lancaster area. Plus the service is Top Notch. I highly Recommend this place, its truly awesome even compared to places in LA. Please take this into consideration. Don't worry its not the nasty Mi Ranchitos!!!!!!!!

La Pasadita at 1141 N. Ashland Avenue in Chicago. They have 3 restaurants all called La Pasidita within the same block, but the original at 1141 N. Ashland is the best for me.
ReplyDeleteThey specialize in a simple grilled carne asada taco on a fresh corn tortilla, with options of salsa, cheese, onions, and cilantro. They also offer a great chile relleno taco.

R DUB aka The Taco Inspector...First let me apologize for whoever recommended THAT HOLE IN THE WALL....taco stand in Mexicali Mexico. One needs to get at least several blocks away from the border crossing to experience good tacos, especially in Mexicali. I lived on the other side of Mexicali all my life and I can say I would really think twice about eating from a taco stand that close to the border. You really need to try other taco shops I'm going to recommend two.

The new La Costillada in Sedona has amazing Carne Asada and also a Mexican Beef Rib Taco. They are from Hermosillo Sonora and are starting to develop a following in a town known for over-priced food.
ReplyDeleteNext time you are in Sedona give em a try... directly across the street from the Red Planet Diner on the 89a in West Sedona.
Watz Up Mr. Taco Inspector. hey if you want some good authentic mexican tacos with homemade corn tortillas and real carne asada which i mean the meat is grilled over charcoal in front of you and it is in doors, on top of that they are served with cilantro,onions,salsa and real guacamole. Also real mexican tacos are small not huge they should be well balance in flavor trust me this place started in the 80's in tijuana which they have 4 or 5 location now they have been in san diego for a while and have 3 or 4 more locations. Also if you like tacos alpastor this is where they have the best tacos alpastor and they are made on the vertical broiler just like in T.J seriously check them out. My family and I drive from palmdale to San diego if not to T.J same taste!!! Now for the name of the taco place "TACOS EL GORDO"

If you really want the best tacos in Brooklyn, NY you should head over to Brighton Beach. Tacos El Rey at 3168 Coney Island Ave(at Brighton Beach Ave)Brooklyn, NY 11235.
