You got that Right!!! Growing up I was so fortunate to have a foster mom from Jalisco Mexico & she taught me how to cook many dishes: in my family I am known for exceptional Tacos,Tostadas, chilaqiilles and enchiladas &guacamole. I am very very grateful for her ever time I cook these dishes!!

If I understand it, tacos al pastor are tipica comida DFense, but there are so many choices in Houston (and as much as we Texans taunt SoCal, the Mexican food choices must be great there), and just about every regional Mexican food is available here. So tacos al pastor and carnitas are easy to find here. I have made carnitas at home.

Tapatia diners are everywhere. There are many diners with nortegno South Texas menus. For fancy food, Pico's has a menu that is a gourmand's tour of Mexico.

Ditto - the red is too hot for me, normally.

I was already hungry. Now I know what for (yet this yummy fare is hard to come by in Oslo, sadly…although I last had some decent soft tacos at a place in Stockholm)! 🤤 Mmmmm. All the varieties you describe sound very yummy!!

Omg, Jon! You made me hungry! My sister and her husband’s family always explore different places in the South, but I have to say, the tacos you described are all very familiar to us. ❤️✨
