Mexican food, especially tacos are one of the favorite foods we enjoy in Texas. There are many types of tacos. You might enjoy the crunch and snap of a hard-shell taco or you might be more attracted to the fluffy and delightful soft taco variety; However, if you’ve never had gourmet street-style tacos, you are missing out. Gourmet street-style tacos are a little smaller than their more common big brothers but packed with flavors and variety.
According to legend, tacos were invented in Central Mexico. In old times, women would bring the meals out to the men who were working in the fields. They would wrap the meals (often beans, rice, and sometimes meat) in tortillas to make it easier to carry and eat. Tacos has since traveled from South America to United States. It has become one of favorite food for Texan.
Chef Isaac was born and raised in Guanajuato, Mexico. He grew up learning how to cook authentic Mexican food from his grandmother, who owned one of the best street food carts in the city. Gourmet street-style tacos are smaller than a normal taco. Their smaller size are great for people on the go who want to avoid long, messy meals. It also allows people to a variety of tacos at the same time without being over stuffed.
The two most popular street tacos that have traveled well and have found their way into the United States are fish tacos and pastor tacos.
- Fish tacos are normally made with tilapia. Our fish tacos are made with codfish from Atlantic Ocean. Atlantic Codfish has a sweeter, milder flavor than the Pacific variety. Its subtle taste makes codfish a wonderful canvas for layering flavors.
- Pastor tacos are made with slow-cooked pork with fresh pineapple, onions and cilantro. Our Pastor tacos are made to order. This is one of the most delicious tacos you can find in Mexico.
