I am a taco freak. Yes, I love Indian cuisine, and sushi, but tacos are my go-to food at any time of the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night snack, a taco does the trick. As I am nearing the end of the first trimester of this pregnancy, I dare not look back and count the number of tacos I’ve consumed over the past few months, nor the amount of money spent on said tacos.
My passion for tacos began well before my pregnancy-hormone-induced-cravings began, fifteen years ago. Uncultured and fifteen years old, I got my first job at a restaurant that, up until I started working there, I actually didn’t like very much: Taco Time (as my friends and I call it, TT). My dislike quickly turned to infatuation, as I got to experiment with different ingredient combinations. To this day, I still order my ‘special taco’, the ultimate of all TT taco creations. I hope someday they make it an actual menu item so I don’t have to irritate the cashiers for the next sixty years of my life (yes I will still be frequenting TT when I am ninety).
We are starting this blog as a means to push ourselves to expand our taco horizons outside of chain restaurants, and onward to taco trucks and mom and pop taco establishments. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the number of places to get a taco is probably in the thousands, so we’d better get started!
If you share our love of all things taco, follow us on this journey of eating our way through the northwest, three tacos and a bottle of hot sauce at a time. Follow on Google Friend Connect, over there to the left, and on Facebook.
