People actually prefer prefabricated tacos?

on a saturday night, hell yes.

 

[Slime]

"Soft" tacos are the only real tacos.

 

[siddx]

Soft of course. Hard tacos just crumble like your hopes and dreams every time you bite into one.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Just to make it clear, crispy tacos were invented by Taco Bell and are NOT part of authentic Mexican cooking.

Hard-shell tacos predate Taco Bell.

 

[Masterphoenix]

Soft tacos

Agreed. I prefer soft tacos. They usually taste better and they're easier to eat. Having a hard taco fall apart is so annoying.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Soft like my grandmother's ancestry's intended.

 

[TAJ]

The difference between a taco and a burrito is that one is folded and one is wrapped. But burritos are arguably gringo food anyway. My sister's in-laws refuse to eat them for that reason. They're dumb and close-minded, though.

 

[User 406]

Hard tacos. If I'm going to have a soft tortilla, I want a damn sight more filling than what goes into the average taco. I can't even understand the point of ordering soft tacos at a place that sells burritos. It's like ordering little burritos with hardly anything in them. So it's hard tacos and burritos for me.

 

[Franklinator]

Soft shell for life. Hard shells fall apart, and soft tortillas taste better. I mean, I'll eat hard shells, because I love tacos, but given the choice it's soft shell every time.

 

[enzo_gt]

Soft tacos. Hard tacos are for cavemen and people who haven't discovered the functional glory of soft tacos.

Won't miss the crunch much either.

 

[ShinAmano]

Hard.

That said if chicken then soft.

 

[Degen]

Whoever invented hard tacos needed to stop inventing things right before he or she invented hard tacos

 

[biggyfries]

Hard shell brings back memories of eating them at Taco Bell when I was little.

I splurge on them sometimes, but like soft shells much better.

 

[maruchan]

Only authentic hard tacos are Flautas...

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Hard tacos aren't real tacos. If it's not on a soft, freshly made corn tortilla it's gonna be a shit taco.

 

[Esch]

Fuck that tex mex bullshyt.

 

[BlackGhost]

Hard my man, gotta get that hard on.

"hard tacos wrapped in soft tacos"

 

[katsubento]

I will eat either one.

 

[Winterfang]

Unless the Taco Shell is made of Doritos, is soft or get the fuck out

 

[PG2G]

Hard tacos are awesome, the problem is they dont put good meat in them. An al pastor hard taco would be some next level shit

 

[Fox318]

Both

 

[Sophia]

I used to prefer hard tacos, but now my preference is soft. Easier to carry around, don't make a mess if it cracks and spills, and not as harsh on my teeth.

 

[Blearth]

You can call it whatever you want, it's still superior.

Maybe if you're talking about that Taco Bell shit.

A real taco from a real Mexican place will make you never look at a crunchy shell again.

 

[alfredofroylan]

There's no such thing as "hard tacos", Those things are tostada's bastard child.

 

[OneEightZero]

Consume immediately? Hard tacos.

Stretch over time? Soft tacos.

 

[ShinAmano]

Lol

Actually soft tacos are made with corn tortillas and burritos are made with flour tortillas. Different texture and taste.

 

[EYEL1NER]

I've preferred soft since forever.

 

[PG2G]

Authenticity is not necessary for shit to taste good. Panda Express has good Orange Chicken , hard tacos can be good too.

Wrong and so is everyone else who said hard tacos aren't real tacos your thinking taco bell shell tacos but there are hard shell tacos.

Behold the classic tacos de papa (potato tacos)

They make tacos dorados with carne too.

 

[Daheza]

Soft tacos for homemade food.

For fast food you cant beat jack in the box "hard" tacos.

 

[Deleted member 13414]

I haven't had a good one yet.

You've never had tacos dorados aka flautas?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Soft 95% of the time. Hard are *ahem* hard to eat. You have to tilt your head sideways.

 

[thefit]

They make tacos dorados with carne too.

Yep, pollo too. Rolled or folded hard shell tacos are a quick tasty Mexican classic.

 

[PG2G]

I haven't had a good one yet.

You should try making your own.

I'm convinced most of you guys have only hard hard tacos from some premade hard shell. A freshly fried tortilla is delicious as hell

 

[Edwardo]

Hard tacos mostly. The only time I bother with soft is when I melt cheese between the two.

 

[ShinAmano]

Either way I want a taco now...hard or soft would eork fine. Lolat tthose taking hard stances one way or anothet.

 

[Deleted member 13414]

Yup in southern california theres a gang of people that sell food from inside their house/apartment buildings. Walk in there and order your tacos dorados, posole, sopes etc. Grab your self a coke too and sit down on the table and eat inside someone else's house. Or you can get some soft tacos from the roach coach parked on the street.

 

[OSHAN]

I want to know how to make the best tacos.

Anyone here make really good tacos?

In the case of Mexican fried hard shell tacos its gong to come down to how you top them and that is a matter preference. You can top them with every Mexican condiment you can think of.

 

[daffy]

I had some fish tacos and they were good. And soft. Not sure why anything else would be acceptable imo

 

[Vandiger]

I prefer soft tacos just cause thats what I grew up on. Hard shell tacos are gross unless they fry a freshly made tortilla when making the taco.

That's kinda like saying soft tacos are gross unless the meat is good.

You'd be surprised just how many people fail to link a taco preference with a blue teddy bear/lady bug hybrid jumping for joy.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Between the two, I prefer soft.

But if I'm having Taco Bell for dinner, I'll usually get 3 soft and 2 crunchy.
