top 10 Tacos of 2010

This list includes tacos that were reviewed on this blog in 2010. It was tough to narrow the list down to just 10 tacos; I had a lot of great tacos this year.

I hope everyone has a good new year and keep sending in those taco tips.

10. Gorditas Lupita - Carne Asada w/ salsa habanero

1. Tacos Tamix - al pastor w/ pineapple. Both Tacos Leo and Tamix are brilliant, but the edge goes to Tamix because of superior salsas

  2. And here I thought Leo's was the end all, be all. Heading to Pico & WestMore tonight (and if they're not there tonight (NYD), then tomorrow, until my mission is complete.

    Thanks for doing the research for us, man. Greatly appreciated...

  4. I believe Norma's Tacos in Pasadena is a new challenger that deserves a serious look.

  7. Bandini, to the extent possible, could you specify in your reviews what times these trucks are in the locations you mention?

    Also, what's the final word regarding the legality of trompos? Do the spits just have to be manufactured according to commercial specifications, or what?

    Thanks and keep up the great work!

  8. Bigmouth,

    yeah..i'll add that to the reviews. For the most part taco trucks open up when the sun goes down. A lot don't have a set time.

    I'm sure trompos are regulated under the same rules as rotisseries. When the trompo is outside the truck then its technically "illegal". Though this is enforced pretty arbitrarily.

  9. These all look uh-mazing. But the more I read your blog, the more I wish we had taco trucks in Dallas and it makes me shed taco shaped tears.
