There are many good tacos out there. Why restrict yourself to only a few possibilities. I started getting some like pic related from the cafe attached to the Hispanic market. They're less expensive than Taco Bell down the street and are 100x better.

Wrong.

Cilantro tastes like soap to about 15% of the population. The percentage is even higher in people with certain Mediterranean heritage, specifically Spanish, Italian and Greek.

This means that the actual Spanish down there typically doesn’t like that soapy shit on their meal, and the ones who put it on EVERYTHING are the lobos and moriscos.

i like authentic style way better, especially when they're made with carne asada, tongue, or barbacoa, but some american style tacos with a bunch of lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream on flour tortillas is also good as fuck. i never eat them that way anymore though, if i'm doing it american style with ground beef, i'm going to pour it on a plate of tortilla chips, melt a bunch of cheese on top, then cover with the lettuce, toppings, red sauce, sour cream, etc. fuck an american style taco, i want white trash nacho supreme if i'm going that route.

tacos and burritos are in my top favorite foods. so many ways to make them for max taste. even the basic bare bones of just (insert meat/steak/whatever here)/cheese/lettuce/sauce is tasty AF. I remember a few years ago I lived off burritos and tacos for about 4 months straight. almost all I ate every day was homecooked burritos and tacos. Probably one of my favorite times for eating in my life since it was just huge massive portions of burrito or taco and i'd stuff my face and it was fucking good.

I've had shit that I tested to be >90% pure and still just got panic attacks, sweaty hands and heart palpitations. Idk if it's just that I need extremely small doses of stims or if its that some people can't handle some drugs but I know more people than me who get these effects.
But the same can be said with any drug. Some feel great on benzo, some just get drowsy, some people get no effect of opiates, some can't handle weed. Personally I can do a 10 strip of acid and still hold a decent conversation and others lose their fucking minds from 2 hits.

There are different esters, alcohols, and preservatives in different types of booze
That's why it's actually kind of important to drink a variety of drinks especially if you're drinking a lot for whatever reason
Some of them take longer to metabolize and they can build up in your fat and replace I forget what in your brain and nerves, it's why alcoholics get the shakes when the booze completely leaves their system, it can also be fatal
By drinking a variety of alcohols, you don't wind up with any particular build-ups

but a taco is multiple foods.
tacos and all other recipies are about taking shitty food , combing it with other shitty food in the hopes that it averages out into something better.

good butter doesnt need to be put on a tortilla.

you're thinking about it the wrong way.

the taste comes from the mix of oils fat and grease and lard on the tortillas, and meat.

you serve with lime/limon to get the best taste f meat. it's simple really.

Salsa cilantro and onions GREATLY fuck up a good taco, and you're not a child for asking without these ingredients.

maciza, surtido, chicharron are great. in places they don't know how to make tacos your best bet is tripa beef/fajita whatever is called and maybe barbacoa if they dont screw it up.

Al pastor is only good in mexico. I would add guacamole to my heart's content to mexican food, especially breaded fish tacos but that's just me.

you get the taste from the mix of grease and lards, if you try to make it too clean you're going to fuck it up the mexican food. mexican food is not supposed to be healthy. too many people don't know how to make it and still sell

it depends. the cheese has to be good de hebra, oaxaca or fresco but a good taco doesn't need cheese.
