I'd rather never eat a taco again than live in Los Angeles, and I fucking love tacos.

Chicago is not the capital of anything culinary.

Least of all tacos.

I myself live 20 min from the taco capital of the US. Sometimes traffic can be a bitch thouh. I usually get two soft and one crunchy supreme. If feeling the need for healthy seafood, I go next door to Long Dong Silvers for deep fried Lobster bits or battered deep fried carp and fresh frozen fried chicken "tendies." With a 3rd of an ear of corn on a stick (gotta get them veggies in).To be fair, I do like taco bell once in a while, and their medium sauce(yeah. I swipe extra packets to take home) but real simple tacos (carnitas with pickled onion) are great. Not to be missed. And Long john is not too bad, it's just so overpowering salty, and the hard as rocks golf balls they call hush puppies and excess breading crumbs don't help.Good malt vinegar for the fries, but I can get that at home.To both's credit, the ones around here, western NC, US,are very clean and staff friendly.But op is correct, real soft carnitas tacos are great.Pic related, though I like taco bell ok, I have never seen tacos that look like those. food "artists" at work I guess.

Get real where in Los Angeles can you get a good pulque to go with any taco?
it (pulque) is a prerequisite to become a good taco

>Implying that LA is better at tacos than San Diego

>>6375033
protip : not even 10% of Mexicans drink pulque
anoother protip : most taquerias will sell beer, tequila and mezcal over pulque, which is not even likely.

>>6374270
best tacos ive ever had were in chicago

>>6376550
not sure if tryhard bait or just ignorant

>>6377909
like i said, pulque and tacos aren't common in mexico since pulque outside a few states is consumed. and even in those states that are consumed, the majority of the people don't drink it

>>6375043
This. Our tacos are made by guys who hopped the border an hour before their shift starts. Our burritos are better too and you can't get anything even close to real Carne Asada fries outside SD.

>>6375090
This is true. There are (now) only 5 pulquerías here in Mexico City Downtown.

>>6375148
Over here they love brandy, rum, vodka and whiskey. Actually tequila and mezcal are considered for poor people.
Beer is a everyday stuff and most of the people has bad taste as they go to "Beer Company" to drink foreign beer. Everybody loves Heineken, yuck. Mexican beer ftw.

>>6375562
LOL

MFW Americans think taco is a tortilla with anything in top of it.

let me just say real pulque is not easy to find with synthetics cheaper and easier to profit from especially when they are easy to find
aside from finding real pulque, finding very good pulque is not just some product to pickup off the shelf or local open air market, instead you must be family
