Heritage carnitas, adobo chicken, and beer-marinated steak. On organic corn tortilla, onion, cilantro relish, lime, and roasted tomatillo salsa. Taco Wednesday, each $2
The Castro Republic, San Francisco CA
These definitely hit the spot on a random Wednesday night. And I’m totally down with the two dollar price tag. While most places observe Taco Tuesday, they do Taco Wednesday at The Castro Republic!
Grilled chicken in mole poblano sauce with pickled onions, jalapeno, and ajonjoli. Taco Wednesday, each $2
The Castro Republic, San Francisco CA
These were small, but very tasty and flavorful. I liked the mole sauce, and the chicken was pretty tender. And for two buck each – yay!!!
Four mini tacos with al pastor, lengua, carne asada, and pollo asado. Soft corn tortillas, cilantro, onions. Served with rice and beans. Each $8.95
Loco Charlie’s Mexican Grill, Palm Springs CA
These tacos were pretty good! I liked the variety, and the quality of the proteins was good. And you can’t beat the price!
Two corn tortillas filled with breaded fish topped with Mexican cole slaw, chipotle baja sauce and pico de gallo. Served with rice. $9.95
Loco Charlie’s Mexican Grill, Palm Springs CA
These tacos were much larger than I expected. The fish were slightly greasy, but they tasted great and they definitely don’t skimp on the toppings. The rice, on the other hand, was really lame and dry.
Corn tortillas with signature slaw, homemade pickled jalapenos, toasted sesame seeds, and Nunya sauce. Each $2.75
Marination Station, Seattle WA
Yum! I loved the flavors of these tacos, but they were on the verge of being too salty. It was great to see Asian flavors in these tacos though and the toppings were delicious.
Chicken verde: cotija cheese, avocado, serrano tomatiilo sauce, cilantro. Korean bbq style: kimchi carrot slaw, avocado, cilantro, gochujang crema. Two for $13
Reservoir, Palm Springs CA
These tacos tasted fine, but they were pretty small for the price. The descriptions make them sound more substantial, but they don’t very much inside the tortilla. Oh well…
Marinated short rib, ssamjang aioli, Asian slaw, cilantro, onion, roasted sesame seeds. ₩7,900
Vatos Urban Tacos, Seoul SOUTH KOREA
These tacos were great! The short rib was so flavorful and the ssamjang aioli was super tasty. The tortillas were really different too. They almost seemed like they were made from rice instead of corn. It seemed fitting.
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Carne asada, carnitas, and pollo pibil. Handmade corn tortillas, queso fresco, crema, avocado, and pico de gallo. Each $4
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
These tacos were pretty good. I like the texture of the warm tortillas and the proteins were pretty tasty too. It wasn’t on the menu description, but the pickled red cabbage was an excellent addition.
Slaw, pico de gallo served with side salad. $14
SLS Las Vegas Hotel, Las Vegas NV
These tacos were ok. I couldn’t find any of the promised pico de gallo which it could have used since the fish was kinda dry. Hmm…
Grilled chicken, vegetarian black beans, lettuce, shredded cheese, secret taco sauce, housemade salsa, green onions, flour tortilla. Served with guacamole and sour cream. $9.99
Ruby’s Diner, Cabazon CA
These tacos were pretty. Lame they were bland and super basic. They seemed more like stuffed quesadillas than proper tacos. Obviously, Ruby did not grow up in a Latino community…

New Orleans style BBQ shrimp, cheesy grits topped with bacon scallion salsa. $12
Mama Knows, San Francisco CA
These tacos were pretty tasty! I thought the shrimp were nicely cooked and the tacos were very flavorful. The super slow service and long wait times were horrible though.
Mimosas. $6
With fennel slaw and spicy buttermilk. Happy hour $4
Tico, Washington DC
Mmm, another delicious taco from Tico! The chicken was so tasty and juicy and I loved the fennel slaw. Noms!
