Taco Taco: Myth or Masterpiece?

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
San Antonio has a few merits to its name that make it an interesting city to live in, such as our team the San Antonio Spurs. Perhaps equally as famous and a whole lot more consistent is the infamous Taco Taco.

The place is small, often crowded, and it closes at 2 p.m. Despite things that might make this quaint establishment undesirable, it is heralded for having some of the best tacos ever. Yes, as in ever ever.

I'll be succinct.

I was nothing less than overjoyed to finally get to eat at Taco Taco, and when I arrived I was surprised at just how small and modest the place had remained, no doubt to hold on to some amount of "authenticity". The place was packed as is probably usual, and the service was apathetic at best. But lets get down to the nitty gritty: the tacos.

I was honestly wholly unimpressed with my tacos. Maybe it was just the kind I got, maybe it was just a bad day for them or me. I can't say for sure, all I can say was that the tacos I received were lacking in flavor and personality. The composition was unique for sure, but nothing about these tacos impressed me as much as I had hoped. I must have gotten my hopes up to high, but in any case Taco Taco failed to impress.

But, if you have the time to meet Taco Taco's narrow window of operation, it's not bad to say the least. In the end it's just my opinion you're reading, and the numerous amounts of people who enjoy and defend Taco Taco can't be wholly wrong.

I'll give Taco Taco a 6/10
