What’s Your Favorite Taco?

Just checked out a new Taqueria on the outskirts of Decatur called Taqueria el Vecino. In addition to the standard fish taco and an excellently seasoned and scrumptious carne asada taco, chef Javier Romero serves up something I haven’t tried on other area menus: a relleno taco made with a small, roasted poblano filled with Chihauhua cheese, then batter fried and wrapped inside a soft corn tortilla. It is a lesson in smokey goo flavor, and a menu highlight.
Romero also serves some mean salsas from a buffet table, plus guacamole and dressings for the fish tacos (which come without), as well as non-taco goodies such as enchiladas and bebidas para los mayores. Yes, drinks for adults containing alcohol. Which is always fun when chomping on a taco.
My favorite taqueria is La Oaxaquena Taqueria in Jonesboro. Where’s yours?
