means it's time for tacos for breakfast, okay we're on my mod run the first two of the day for my classic , it's potatoes, cheese, bacon and eggs, this looks glorious. right now tortilla I want a little more butter I'm looking for a flaky tortilla right, okay, the bacon is very well cooked, crispy and chewy for me, this is the early bird taco, you don't need to think about it, get out of bed, here one of these, you continue with your day for my special talk about me Mother, I chose the Carnegie sada.

Carne asada is essentially a meat stew made in Latin America. It is usually cooked with jalapenos, tomatoes, some onions and, of course, meat. You can make it over rice, but the best way to make it is in a flour tortilla. The beef is super flavorful, falling apart but still solid. I think I want a little more, although I might like some avocado. here's okay, we're at Jo's bakery, you'll notice I have a little something extra here, although it's a taco place and it also makes tons of Mexican pastries. Now I couldn't get a little expert on Weibo or Concha as some might basically just call them. an egg bread that is a little colorful this will be the dessert for the tacos because it is delicious steamed they are making the tortillas at home it is a bakery, that makes sense they are hot a little crispy on the outside and fluffy there are nice little air pockets on the outside Inside there are the sliced ​​potatoes that I chose.

They have a special way of treating the bacon. They sprinkle it with flour the night before. They put it in the refrigerator and then they put it on the grill and when the bacon reaches that heat and that fat starts to come out and It renders it, hydrates the flour and is super super crunchy. Everything I hoped the bacon was true is true and then the cheese melts but it's still chained. This tastes really good. Joe's Bakery. This breakfast taco is the anchor taco. the kids have been in this neighborhood forever the neighborhood has been changing this is still the same this is my anchor for our special taco we are going to make carne asada again without cheese in this just the meat and the tortilla we saw them actually cutting the meat to this the meats are so tasty you get that mix of dried chiles just hitting hitting hitting so much flavor this is really good we're at Valentina's tex-mex barbecue these tortillas are pressed right there you can tell they're still super hot after grilling and there's a nice sear there two eggs and potatoes are all in one it seems like there's a little bit of black pepper the things are very well seasoned super soft it has that pepper it has that salt the bacon is very well fried and the omelet is amazing this is the bed of pitmaster tacos from a reliable truck puppy in the parking lot we go right next to the smokers Perfect Bible look at this this is called the real Holyfield this is crazy I wish you could feel it's legitimately heavy and it might have something to do with that big piece of brisket

which

is on top, so we have potatoes, beans, fried egg, sauce, a slice of brisket and there's a slice of bacon underneath too, Holyfield real down the hatch that brisket changes everything up there there was the option you can do it with beef pulled pork or brisket we're in Texas you're not going to order the brisket this is the movement TACA deli does something a little different here's some mashed potatoes so the eggs sit on the mashed potatoes they give it a pretty similar texture to the refried beans, which is a good deli taco, this is the trail taco, you grab about six of these, throw them in your bag, put on your boots, grab the puppy. the road I'm on board for a special taco at taco deli let's go with the Car named after a guy named Otto look here there are no eggs we have beans cheese avocado and a double portion of bacon Otto what's up get the beans nice and soft , very well seasoned, then you get that crispy piece of bacon and then again you get a kind of Mashhad on top, if you like, the avocado, which is not a bad thing here, it's super creamy and balances the salt, the smokiness and the bacon.

Alright, oh yeah, I'll go. Stress cuts are needed right now. We're right off the highway in a parking lot in front of a truck that looks like a flour tortilla with cheese. They are doing them inside the trailer. You look phenomenal getting on the griddle and they feel phenomenal lots of cheese on egg everywhere potatoes were added to the eggs and then the bacon is chopped very finely this is excellent it's probably the best flour tortilla we've had all day and the eggs are everywhere just well seasoned and not dry at all, this is a contender here for best Rosita's store, this is the lovers taco because you can taste the love and care in every bite.

I'm following Sonny on this one, my specialty cue will be the outpost or alpha shops in the name of the place. I'm not going to bust out or make tacos for those of you who don't know what that big cone of meat you'll see spinning on a rotisserie is, but traditionally taco al pastor, they'll ask for pineapple, chopped white onion, and cilantro, it's not a breakfast taco. , but I need it for breakfast. I never order corn, but she recommended it and I think Veracruz is all natural and I drink a Chico mole while I wait. These delicious bad boy tortillas look nice and fluffy on the thicker side.

I'd say I have a big slice of bacon running through the eggs and mashed potatoes. The eggs are super fluffy. I want a little more salt, although the bacon does. Pack in plenty of salt and you'll get that bite of bacon with the eggs exactly what you're looking for. Sometimes the breakfast taco gets soggy with so much potato. This is the correct amount. It's nice and light for everyone. I've talked to one of the first taco shops they say when I say where I get the best breakfast taco. It's Veracruz, so this taco is the city's taco, the special taco in Veracruz.

This is the celebrity taco in town. Taco avocado crumbs. queso pico egg and bits of crunchy tortilla chips, this is a really solid taco, it's also maybe my first time eating vegetables today, which is good, but the avocado is really what seals it for me, how can you not Will you like an avocado on top? a taco is a beautiful thing it is very nice it has artificial grass it has some high quality tacos we are at the fairgrounds it is like a high end food court there are many food concepts there that have their secondary locations and one of them is Dai, they started like a butcher shop that focuses on the local Texas game, locally sourced flour tortillas ground in Texas, let's see how this tortilla stacks up it's so perfectly crispy it's light, the layers are separating creating these air pockets, I see When you hold it up, it's almost translucent, this tortilla is wild, the inside matches it: we're making potatoes with bacon and cheese, all mixed with the egg, it's a beautiful taco.

Did I make a breakfast taco? This is Willie Nelson's cue. He is lifting me up. to a higher plane when I eat it well, especially the taco, this is interesting, I make a taqueria, they focus on wild game, so mainly the meat is wild boar and venison, this is a chorizo ​​taco with potatoes, eggs and cheese, they serve it. in a cord tortilla, not a flour tortilla, they source all their corn from Oaxaca and grind it in the store. Well, you have a little spice, but the cheerful meanness of the wild boar is so intense and so tasty. definitely one of the most unique tacos we've had today, the classic homemade breakfast taco with tamales, chopped potatoes, we have some big cubed pieces here, it looks like there's tons of black pepper in the tortilla, it's made in house and it looks like there is good air. there are bubbles in there with that bacon the balance I was saying chewy crispy nailed it the eggs are super fluffy and I'm getting tons of black pepper which we haven't really gotten so far which is really good this is kind of First place in which I felt is not a takeaway scenario.

I want to take my taco, sit on a beautiful patio, look lovingly in his eyes, and eat it. Tamale House. This is the patio cue. Okay, now for the Tamale House. Special eastern taco. eat the spicy migas, we've already had a migas taco today, you know, the signature calling card of the migas are those crunchy tortilla chips, we're going to get a lot of chili and some heat, this is phenomenal, there are big chunks of tortilla chip. that type of coating at all times the good thing about this taco with all the sauce is that it prevents the eggs from drying out and getting moist, fluffy and perfect egg bites at all times we are just around the corner from Pueblovieja which was There was A little noisy there, so we found a nice secluded bench.

I appreciated your construction method. They started with bacon, flattened it on the griddle, put potatoes on top, and then cracked the egg on top so that the potatoes in the bacon were covered. egg while it cooks on the griddle and then instead of putting the cheese on top of the taco, they put it directly on the flour tortilla and then pour everything else on top so that the heat melts the cheese directly into the consistency of the tortilla. This taco across the board is perfect, the tortilla isn't the best I've had today, it's very soft, which is nice, but it's missing a bit of fries well below Viejo.

I call this the Encore cue. Stay there for the second half of the show, grab another taco, the special taco, it's called the Don choco taco and you'll get beans, bacon, avocado and cheese, the bacon looks nice and crispy. I'm and that cheese is underneath everything so again it's going to be melted shout out to Don Choco because this is a ball taco with crispy bacon against a super creamy avocado it's one of the best combinations in this world we're in one in a million that is a large taco with chopped cheese and bacon it is nice and melty it looks like the potatoes are in and along the egg you have some little charred spots on the tortilla right there this taco is substantial one of these , I'm probably ready and the price is perfect, this is the rental. taco of the week I'm eating one of these our dinner during rent week without worrying about bills number two the special this is the Don Juan it's essentially the taco I just ate on steroids you guys can't really feel how heavy this is but if I throw it at you it might hurt the tortilla is the same size it just has more inside my only criticism of this is that I want a little more variation in the texture since everything is so well incorporated and cohesive that it is like you You receive the Same bite every time, which is good, but it gets a little boring.

I can't say exactly where I am right now. We didn't get a location authorization signature from them and yes, we came because if we didn't. the kids would have called me about it, you would have said: hey, why didn't you go see? These omelettes are quite small, in fact maybe the smallest we have eaten today, that's not a bad thing, just an observation, everything was chopped and the egg was broken. The top got a little messy once the cooked cheese was dropped on top and then dropped on top of this tortilla, so it melts under the tortilla.

Plus, these guys don't serve their tacos with potatoes, or potatoes in the kitchen for me. this disqualifies it in a way this is not going to be my number one taco this is the Dick Tracy taco because I need someone to find out where the hell my special fries are here another migas taco here the migas come with ham, onion and cilantro and I don't see chips or tortilla chips. There is nothing crunchy. This one is a bit forgettable. I want a lot of cilantro. I want to swim in grasses. I want that smoky, salty flavor of ham.

I don't understand. I'm getting a lot of egg here Egg and cheese Welcome to my new home Tyson Tacos Tortilla on the smaller side Chopped potatoes Scrambled eggs looking very moist Can't say more No one wants to hear strips of bacon always long and moist Bacon on the crispier side and the eggs are perfectly cooked, the potatoes are actually the crispiest I've had today which is kind of wild overall, I definitely don't hate it, the Tysons taco is the self care taco because it makes you feel a little to yourself. A little bit now for Tyson's special taco, this one I'm actually really excited about this is called send your Ranger.

We have fajitas, bacon, potatoes, fresh cheese, something like cojito cheese. Send your Ranger. They are essentially fajitas in a taco with bacon. How can you not like it? the green pepper listen, do you hate it or love it. I am in thehate side with green pepper. I like cotija cheese in general, change the pepper.
