I may not be the top taco connoisseur in Fresno, but my tummy knows a thing or two about tasty tacos in the Fresno area. It seems like almost every shopping center has at least one Mexican restaurant, which is fine by me- and there are always new places springing up to try out. There are a few stand out taco places here though that I'd like to mention in particular in my ode to Fresno's tacodom.*Al Rico's Taco's on Ashlan and Marks was the first place I fell in love with aacos. I was in high school and my boyfriend and I would walk there and nomnomnomnomnom the heck out of their 2x$1 deal. Now the price has gone up to $1.25, but its still a steal- and they're open til 10- in fact my husband is trying to talk me into driving there as I type this.
Chris' Meat Market on Kern downtown is another delicious destination. How many 4 AM adventures ended up there when I was still cool enough to be out until 4 AM? Too many tacos to count, my friends.
My Husband got me hooked on Tacos Tijuana on Ventura- another midnight cravings place with some incredible food. Killer carne asada.
I know there are many, many more, but quite frankly I'm fried from the wee one crying (its bedtime) and I'm thinking about nipping out for a taco myself. Share your favorite taco haunts! Tacos make the world go round and are part of the yummy side of Fresno!
(Found the image on Ebaums world. Couldn't resist posting it. You know how that goes.)
*This is just a quick overview, I wasn't even planning on doing tacos today until I started thinking about how badly I want one! If you wanna know more about any of these places your best bet is just to go. Tacos are dirt cheap, anyway so its not like you'll be out anything and you can check "Taco Adventure" off of your bucket list.
(Also, there's a new place that just opened on Belmont and Marks, anyone been yet? I'm planning on going very soon to check it out! Tacos that are within an arms reach? (if I had 2 mile arms) YES PLEASE!)
When I lived in CA, I loved Robertitos on Dakota near Cedar. 24 hrs/spicy chicken tacos/carne asada to die for... mmmmmm. Alaska doesn't have very good tacos, and I actually have tacos on the list of things my boyfriend must try on our epic adventure to my hometown. ;)
ReplyDeleteKim Burly, one day we have to go either Guadalajara or La Elegante, which are my two favorite taco spots in town.
ReplyDeleteMike, I would be honored to go a'Tacoing with you!
ReplyDeleteIf you and Mike go on a Taco Trot (like a Pub Crawl) you'd better let me know. I want to join you all so we can compare notes. Now where's my Adobada tacos with the works?
ReplyDeleteThere is a great mexican restaurant that serves some tastey fish tacos! It's located on the NE corner of Blackstone & Gettysburg, El Pescador Taqueria.
