Taco Trevails

[ceagle]

Iz there sum kinda Taco Trend (at some restaurants) to diminish and diminutize the former size?

*boggles* ... Several times now I've taken chances on unknown diners, and them lil tacos have been a mere morsel compared to what I've known all my life.. 8|

Drove past a place a couple of days ago that said "best tacos" and so the next day I decided to give it a try.. just like my dad used to do, learning about new places by trying them out.
Well, the taste was okay, but as they saw the look on my face when they handed them to me, they said, "they're small, senor" ... and with shattered dreams I scarfed each one down in two bites. $1.35 each!!!

At least White Castle never hid the fact that their product wasn't a full-on hamburger, priced at about 25c apiece in our area... but 70c a bite is a bit steep for a taco, imho!

arf!

I think it's a new thing to call them "street" or "cart" tacos, and yeah they are smaller than what I"m used to taco bell

They're basically Mexico city tacos which have always came in smaller tortillas (though often two of them)

That's wild! ^v^ ... They were tasty... but expennnnsive!

They are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper in Mexico city (though it does depend on where you get them)
Where we go you can feed 6 adults and 2 kids for about $10-$15 bucks :P

Yep, you beat me to it. Street tacos are kind of a fad thing right now, and yes, they usually come in tows or threes...

Funny you should mention the "bell" ... A good friend of ours years ago ran a Mexican restaurant and I loved it!!.. but he said his kids would often beg him to take them to Taco Bell :D !
