yeah i've had some great veggie tacos before

and, yeah, a veggie dog is just a slavish imitation of a hot dog, whereas a veggie taco is like all tacos just one more permutation, another color in the rainbow

Yeah that menu is almost delicious sounding enough to make me want to eat some meat. Wow.
It's pretty much the only place I have considered making an exception for.

True re veggie tacos, but I was thinking of a taco with TVP in it (or something along those lines) which I've never seen anywhere.
Also the place I get the hot dogs is more about the buns and toppings/condiments than the actual dogs so the veggie ones are honestly really good!
Shit, now I kind of want a real hot dog.

After 16 years though my stomach would probably explode and I might die if I decided to start eating meat again and began with a hot dog.

if you assume that the best tacos are made by mexicans, then yes, more mexicans increases the chances of awesome tacos

no, this is fallacious logic. for example, what if a city only had 1,000 mexicans but they were all experts at making awesome tacos, while another city had 1 million mexicans but they were all shitty taco-makers. also i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that at this point there may be some non-mexicans who are capable of making awesome tacos.

love that the candidates for best taco city thus far are LA and Chicago and not anywhere in, you know, Mexico.

Maybe by percentage, but not by sheer numbers. There are more Mexicans in Chicago than the total (Mexican and non-Mexican) population of Santa Ana.

the main fallacy is assuming that good tacos can only be made by mexicans. this magical city of a 1000 taco geniuses is far more improbable, and a total strawman, c'mon.
like i said, ~if~ your main assumption is that mexicans = tacos, then yes, you actually will increase your chances of getting a good taco by being someplace with more mexicans. like, you know, mexico
― i want to marry a pizza (gbx), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
for veggie tacos, a good bet is tacos with soyrizo and potatos (i've made one with purple potatoes)

Taco Bell is terrible but also really really awesome. You do not go there for good tacos; you go there because you have a cancer in your soul and you couldn't be happier about it.

For some reason potato tacos are always expensive (well, comparatively, they're still only like $3).

sometimes i end up with taco bell and realize if i was on my game, if i'd just tried harder, i could have ended up with el grande burrito or taco zone instead. but i settled.

The key to taco bell is to never have meat. Beans and tortillas may not blow your culinary mind, but there's little likihood that they'll even so much as make you sick. It's beans, you know?
