    Where is tacos gavilan?? Why does this form seem broken and missing places on the chart. Also see buttons with no tacos places next to it. Is it just me?

    All 8 are very good. If I had to rank them, Estrella would be #1 followed by king taco, rickies, tbe, and then the rest.

    I think my 3 favorites are out of the running. El Actor, Taco Zone, & Arizas. There’s also a few that I haven’t tried or might not know them by name if I have. Gotta hit the final few up and peep the biz!

    this is a great final four… the only problem i have with it is that TACO ZONE is waaay better than la estrella. I mean la estrella is good but ?! and I think King Taco only beats Yuca’s because of the crack-like addicting verde salsa they have at king taco… man, i need a taco…

    utter and complete bullshit. NOBODY could eat a Yuca’s and Ricky’s taco in the same sitting and declare yuca’s the winner. yuca’s is a half-notch above baja fresh. this is an outrage.

    whoa whoa whoa… hang on there buddy, I”m not gonna argue Yuca’s vs. Ricky’s cuz I havent had Ricky’s but PLEASE for the love of TACOGOD do not compare Yuca’s to baja fresh… that just not cool. half notch?! they’re not even on the same anything!

    King Taco’s hot sauce

    Yuca’s tacos have no salsa , can be a little dry. I prefer the burritos at yuca’s

    I’m sorry, but yuca’s is the mexican equivalent of pink’s hot dogs. i have no personal beef with them, i have eaten there many, many times because it is convenient for me. i actually like their burgers and tortas. but tacos? come on. i would take ANY of the other places on the bracket, with the exception of maybe kogi and cactus, before yuca’s.
    and to double-down, i would argue that baja fresh’s salsa selection might actually give it an edge over yuca’s.

    When I order a Taco I expect to get a Taco made with TLC (tender loving care).Putting Salsa in a Taco would be
    like adding Sour Cream and Chives on Apple Pie.
    Good luck Yucas Taco!!!
    See tou soon Nordie

    I saw The Budda eating at Yuca’s. If it’s good enough for him it’s good enough for me.

    I love Yuca’s for cochinita pibil, but all of their tacos seem to succeed on the strength of large amounts of butter like many upscale restaurants. La Estrella has my backing now that Huarache is out.

    I am going to eat at both Yuca’s and La Estrella this week before voting. Both are good.

    Yucas’s is real-deal-Holyfield. NWIH (No way in hell) should someone say their tacos are weak like a Pink’s hotdogs. Pinks bite. Yuca’s asada— no parallel. Go Dora and Mama.

    Yuca’s? Really? La Estrella and King Taco are my top 2! I can’t believe Tito’s Tacos won over Taco Zone! That’s inconcivable!

    Yucca serves hot dogs and Hamburgers for chrissakes! And not one single veggie option. It’s westside location is its only reason for success. If they were at cinco puntos they wouldn’t have even made the second round.

    I’m voting La Estrella. But then again, I eat there every week and am very biased.

    Thanks Walt! Yes, there are two Hadleys in this city and both of us are editors in similar areas, leading to lots of confusion. He seems to get better invites, as far as our switched mail says. I voted La Estrella myself. And Taco Zone never really did it for me, so I get that. Por Favor, I like their chile rellenos much more than their tacos. May the best democratically elected taco win now, both deserve to be there.
