LATaco.com is using a little March Madness style to host a -- drool -- taco tournament.
Why have I never thought of this? I mean, I've been mourning the Great Fresno Taco Festival for a few years, and this ... well, it's so perfect.
Don't be surprised if I hella jack this idea sometime in the future, with No. 1 seeds Guadalajara and La Elegante.
[props to Jeff on the taco tip]





I'm in. How is this going to work?
I dunno ... I'm still stuck at pondering lunch
great idea!
I love the concept, but if that is an LA taco tournament that does not include Chano's...it's flawed. Seriously flawed.
Yummy.
I'm also in. Let's do this thing.
I Like Taco TJ
Go for it MIke!
I just had tacos at La Elegante yesterday . . . yum! I'm in!
oooh man. i can't wait to see how this goes down.
That picture is a little disurbing.... a taco with a mustache? Oh wait.... on second thought...
If you're familiar with LA taco's, I think Tito's tacos deserved better than a #7 seed. Look for them to make a run (and although some turn their nose up at them, King Taco makes a bomb-ass carnitas...get it with the red sauce. Caliente!).
Omg: Tacos Tijuana's pastor con todo hands down for sure!
But I'm game to put it to the test.
I'm totally in!!!
And what's crazy is that Teresa and I are the only girls who've signed on!!!
Mike OZ, I know you did a write up a few years back traveling to different local cities and trying out their tacos. I still haven't taken that conquest. I've been wanting to but keep forgetting, haha. If you put up a bracket with your favorite taco spots and the address next to each name, i'll mos def use that as my road map when i take that road trip.
Tacos and tournaments! Two of the greatest inventions known to mankind! Bring it on Mike Oz! The sooner the better!
if you want to try some great tacos outside of fresno i recommend colima in parlier. if you're not in the mood for tacos, i recommend their burritos. they're to die for. i couldn't find their new address, but it's directly across the street from the parlier branch of bank of the west [510 J st. parlier, ca]
also, if you haven't already tried them at your local taqueria, try tripas dorados.
@MsJoey: I'm a girl
this is going to be awesome!!!
although i have to say i would put tacos tj and el ranchito as the #1's..but no real argument here guadlajara and la elegante are very respectable choices..hehe.
@msjoey Haha! I'd feel dorky, but I love tacos too damn much.
Best tacos outside of Fresno? El Grullense Jalisco in Los Banos. Best Burrito and best torta too. And I ain't playin.
Hmmm... Mike, maybe you and TheGuysWhoLikeToEat can somehow orchestrate a cook off between the major taco vendors in Fresno... I mean serious taco cook off!
Mmmm tacos!
make sure to build an online form for everyone to print and fill in. Then to fill in an online poll version of the same poll for an official outcome.
I'd pick Don Pepe's to kick some serious tail in this competition, and throw in Zamora's as a sleeper.
Do it dude !!! Do it !!!!!!!!!
