Mexican food is one of my favorite types of food. Even though I don't like spicy food, I still manage to enjoy a good taco, quesadilla, and tortilla chips. It's hard for me to enjoy Mexican food as much as I enjoy Tacos de Pueblo, a Mexican food stand at the farmer's market right near my house. This place is outrageous. These four guys from Mexico hand make corn tortillas, put them on a stone over a fire, and grill them. They then offer beef, chicken, and pastor. I always get the tacos de pastor; this has unbelievable pork freshly cut from the spit, delicious mozzarella cheese, and pineapple. My mouth is watering as I write this. Anyway, now that I've had tacos from this place, I set the bar pretty damn high.
The two Mexican food chains, Chipotle and Moe's, are about as close as they get to Tacos de Pueblo. I've mostly been to Chipotle, and always get their tacos. You can choose to get the tacos with any meat, and toppings. They also do a great job on the taco shell. I like how they keep their menu simple; you can choose from a quesadilla, burrito, burrito bowl, and tacos, and then you tell them what exactly you want in them. Moe's is different in this way. The first thing I noticed was how confusing the menu was; I felt like a dumb ass trying to order because the menu had names for meals, without explaining what exactly they were. I just asked for tacos and told the guy what I wanted in them. The meal however came with chips, which is a huge advantage over Chipotle. The tacos were good, but I'd say I'm more of a Chipotle guy. It's hard to beat Tacos de Pueblo, but Chipotle will never let me down.
