If you love tacos, don't miss the story today by The Bee's Joan Obra and Mike Osegueda. They tracked down some of the best spots in the Valley for carne asada tacos -- what Mike calls the "chocolate ice cream" of tacos, a baseline against which others can easily be measured. Not to mention, they're tasty.
Like all such lists, this one is incomplete, as the writers acknowledge. But it's a valuable starting point for individual taco safaris, as well as a chance to get to places in the Valley many of us never see.
There are inevitable differences in taste, but that's not the point. It's possible to eat very well around here -- not just tacos and other Mexican delights, but the whole vast array of ethnic cuisines that are represented in the Valley. Good food is only one of the blessings our extraordinary diversity confers upon us.
I've only been to three of the places Joan and Mike mention in their story, so they've given me an splendid lunch itinerary for the coming weeks and months. What a great public service.
