Now I am going to get hungry...
I like chicken tacos with mild salsa, and fresh handmade crunchy flour tortillas. I love the tacos they make at a local place here in the town I live in. I have never had a fish taco. I have never had any weird tacos. If I was really hungry I could probably eat 5 of those tacos.

Lobster tacos wow, what do those set you back...

I still call Polenta...grits. My tacos cost me 3 breakfast tacos and a diet coke for $3.50

Most restaurants in Southcentral Texas have around 20 varieties on the menu...

If your really hungry you can have a Rolando's Super Taco...

No thanks man!! Last time I had a Rolando's super taco was in a company truck at lunch. When I got in the truck and started to eat it was dripping out both ends. Started to get awful messy so I tossed the whole thing out the window.

Do you prefer flour, or corn taco shells? Flour. I cannot stand to eat a corn shell. YUCK.

Chicken, beef, fish or something else? All 3 are good. But I tend to get beef.
If you like fish tacos, what kind of fish? Catfish (from a very clean fillet) or cod.

What, and where was the best taco you ever had? A taco from a little taco cart in Tuscaloosa, AL.

What was in the most interesting/weird taco you ever had? I don't think I've ever had a weird taco.

What was the most amount of tacos you have eaten in one sitting? 4

And when you eat a taco, do you turn your head, or the taco to take a bite? I roll up my flour shell and bite into it like a hot dog. No head turning allowed for either!

Taco shell is usually a fried corn tortilla, flour tortillas are not usually fried...

Crispy tacos are made with a fried corn shell...


A flour tortilla is just a Taco...

and breakfast tacos...

In my opinion, THIS is closer to what a fried taco shell should look like.. that one up above on the left should stay at Taco Bell. It's horrifying when a sit down restaurant serves up one of those prefab shells. Unfortunately, living in Dallas, I've become very used to said horror.

Here's a link on making your own shells.. pretty easy but not quite as quick as the other way of course.

Ok...

I think you knew what I meant. The shell as in the outer covering of the taco.

But thanks for the clarification, anyway. Either way, the corn stuff is just nasty IMO. I've had them homemade and they are still nasty.

To each their own! You can have my share of the flour tortillas and I'll have your share of the corn.

Deal!!

Both of my kids love the corn shells. I think my dislike from them stems from my childhood and school cafeteria lunches, lol.

Only corn, two stacked tortillas heated to soften on a grill, sometimes with queso quesadilla. Chicharron, salsa verde and cucumber. OR carne asada with pico de gallo AND/OR a thin guacamole. OR shrimp with same. OR a fish taco, grilled not fried.

OR, if I want a crisp taco, I'll throw in a blasphemy because when I want crisp it's for an insubstantial snack: The Jack In The Box taco at two for 99 cents. I know that's not meat in there. I don't know what it is. But they're pretty tasty, crunchy, sloppy, fast and hot. Better than nachos.
