!!Tour De Taco!!



Ladies and Gentlemen, recently my friend Mike Malone and I created what is now know at Tour de Taco. The concept is simple. We both love to ride our bikes and we both love tacos. Therefore, because of popular demand, this has become a weekly tour. Every thursday we meet at Couch State Park on 19th and Glisan. There, we decide what type of taco we will be focusing on. The first week (below) was carne asada. Super Burrito Brothers in St. Johns has the best carne asada taco. However, it is also the most expensive taco. below are some photo's of the idea in the making.


Sweet view from the St. Johns Bridge.





El Rancho is located in the Killingsworth food pod. Neither mike or I were a big fan of this taco. For $1.50 they were a bit small, the meat was obviously cooked the day before and burnt when reheated. We decided that we would not be including Rancho in our future tours. below is a photo of their taco. i know...looks good. sorry guys.




!!Super Burrito Brothers!!





Above, is our favorite taco. This is their version of the asada taco. Fresh meat, cook to order. Fresh, delicious tomatoes, onions and cilantro. however, the best part of this taco is the verde salsa. Salsa verde is made with tamotillos, onions, jalapenos and cilantro. However, they add avocados while blending the salsa making it creamy, cool/refreshing and simply out of this world delicious. it makes the taco.



Ah, the Red Fox...a Tour de Taco approved watering hole. $1 old germans!








Below is Chefi's Gourmet. THESE ARE INCREDIBLE.



Margarhita prepares all of the food cooked to order. She hand rolls all of the tortilla's and all her produce is garden fresh. She told us a lot of the carts prepare meats and prep veggies/salsas the day before. you can taste the difference. Also, this cart is located DIRECTLY across the street from por que soexpensive. more authentic. more fresh. simply, a better taco for half the price.

La Bonita (alberta).

$2.50—decent taco, wont be returning though. Tour de Taco has a $2 limit that we created directly after finishing this tasty, but expensive taco.
