....came from my kitchen saturday night! unfuckingbelievale. had a bunch of people over and made al carbon tacos with homemade mexican crema. marinated flank in salt, pepper, oo, garlic and lime juice.
grilled them with some well-oiled sliced vidalias. homemade guac and pico de gallo. unbelievably good. even made my own corn tortillas.

way better than cabron tacos

home made corn tortillas are pretty badass. Not even my grandmother did that.

No cilantro on that list, a shame if true.

Since I suck at making tacos, can anyone recommend me some good spots in Manhattan?

Why do we keep using corn for tortillas? Agri-business and their subsidies have brainwashed us into using corn for everything. You should have made them out of hemp.

I make some pretty good guacamole.

Is the taste between homemade corn tortillas and the supermarket stuff that far off?

I have been craving some good and cheap mexican food. Haven't found a good place in manhattan yet.

right down the street from your work, a place called Taco Tacto, 89/2nd. Excellent tacos on corn tortillas. Guacamole is also great but pricey.

...from a fan of legit Mexican food.
