Tacos in The Mission: El Gallo Giro Taco Truck & La Taqueria – San Francisco, CA

By Mijune

First off, there is a lot more to Mexican food than tacos and burritos, but I had to narrow my focus. Not having a taco in The Mission would be like skipping a croissant in Paris, so I committed to tacos on this occasion. A taco sounds like a simple thing, equivalent to the American sandwich, but there are things to consider when “judging” them.

Authentic Tacos in The Mission: El Gallo Giro Taco Truck in San Francisco, CA

By Mijune

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican tacos with homestyle recipes then this is the spot. They were no-fuss tacos at extremely affordable prices and they make all the marinades in house. It could get better than this, but I was quite satisfied having this as my one experience for authentic Mexican tacos in the Mission. Mission completed… for now.

Authentic Tacos & Mexican Food in The Mission District – San Francisco, CA

By Mijune

Mexican and Central American immigrants settled here in the 1940-1960’s and they introduced the neighbourhood to authentic Mexican and Latin flavours. Nowadays the district has changed and The Mission has become one of the young, hot, hip, “hipster”, and happening food scenes in San Francisco.

Follow Me Foodie to San Francisco (Round 2)!

By Mijune

This city is synonymous with food and good restaurants. People visit just to eat and it is truly a treat to be in San Francisco. It is home to some of America’s “Best Restaurants” and my main purpose for this trip was to judge Cathay Pacific’s Noodles of Asia contest, but I couldn’t help but to extend my stay…

Chicago, Illinois – Birrieria Zaragoza (Best Mexican Goat Tacos)

By Mijune

Birria is a spicy Mexican meat stew traditionally made from goat and Zaragoza is the last name of the family that brought the recipe to Chicago from Mexico. I was told Birrieria Zaragoza was a hole in the wall serving the most authentic and best goat tacos in the city. This is truly a FMF Must Try!

Don Guacamole’s

By Mijune

I came specifically for the tacos since I was on a taco hunt. I did find these tacos good for Vancouver standards and they are authentic Maxican tacos. The meats are actually the most seasoned and flavourful compared to La Taqueria and Doña Cata.

New Jersey – Riviera Maya Mexican Cuisine

By Mijune

If you’re in New York it’s not necessary to make the 30 minute trip out here just to try it, but it has opened my eyes and taste buds to another level of what “authentic Mexican food” really is. Nothing was dumbed down and it just had legit all over it.

La Taqueria (Taco Shop on Cambie)

By Mijune

This is the new location for La Taqueria that just opened this year. The original location is in Gastown downtown, and both remain busy. It’s the most popular choice for tacos in Vancouver, but it’s not necessarily the best.
