>>4110665
Are you glass cutting board guy?

>>4110671
No sure, but I do use an endgrain butcher block, glass cutting board sounds kind of dangerous

>>4110681
No sir is what I meant, stupid auto correct

why do pork tacos have a different name from other tacos?

There's a little Mexican place a few blocks from where I live with awesome tacos.

Their lengua tacos are to fucking die for.

its been a while since i last had god tier carnitas.

fuck nj.

Man /ck/, stop posting all these taco threads...you're making me hungry for them but I have to wait to go to the grocery store just a bit longer....

Those look delicious.

but you can get one of those at chipotle for 9 dollars. why make them at home?

>>4113193
I can guarantee those tacos were made with the cheapest quality ingredients as possible. At least at Chipotle you know what you're getting.

>>4110691
Because Carnitas is made differently.

carne asada master race reporting in.

carnitas is aight i guess, but ya'll bitches know what to get when you're craving some real tacos.

>>4110691
the name is a reference to the meat used, not the way it's served

>>4110640
I love Tex-Mex tacos with ground beef, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, etc.

But these are something really fucking special.

Onion, cilantro and lime. Then just replace the meat with something extremely filthy and unsightly like feet, tails, tongues, etc. for cents per pound.

This is poorfag food done right.

>dat beef.

>>4110707

>>4114621
>carne asada
>meat clearly not grilled

>>4110707
lengua and barbacoa tacos are amazing, i love them, add some salt, onion, cilantro and they are perfect, maybe a bit of lemon juice if you like it

>>4118655
all of them are tacos, but the way they are made give them a different name
tacos playeros for example

>>4110640
Damn that looks good. For 2 people I hope.

TFW when I went to one of the local mexican restaurant and asked for a carne asada over fries and he replied 'Que?'

You know it's really fucking weird how I'm mexican, spent years in mexico with family and eat tortillas with every meal yet there's still common mexican food I don't like

Like carnitas, lengua, and menudo.

But um...well we have a bunch of ham leftover from new years and I been putting that with avocado for tacos.

All of these tacos look so good.

They're super easy to make. Go make some and come back with pictures.

No, I stopped posting OC here a long time ago. It's ignored and never appreciated, the board would rather argue about steak, Americans, beans in chili and talk about how to make their instant ramen better all day. I'm pretty sure you can guess where I post it now.

overpriced hipster trash?

>>4121817
America's favorite burrito.

Love the fatty? or juicy ? carnita plate. Not sure if its the same in tacos but i hate dry carnitas.
carnitas with some spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce and guac and some flour tortillas is my main mexican dish to get all teh time.

>>4121752
Best carnitas are actually on the sides of the roads in a semi-busy mexican town. Typically a very old lady will be sitting there, slow as fuck, but can serve 30 people with ease.

Also, pork is nasty.

I love carnitas. But, I don't really make it at home, because I don't have the right giant pot and outdoor cooking situation to make it properly. Not that you can't make carnitas otherwise, but it's sooooooo much better when you make it right.
Anyway, kind of off subject, but still related, I'm making a huge pot of chili verde right now. Enough for dinner plus enough for the rest of the week, or to freeze. YUUUUUUMMMMMM
