Roundtable Discussion | Best Taco Spot

We honored Taco Tuesday in this week’s Roundtable Discussion by asking the PorchDrinking team where to find the best tacos in their city. Denver, Cleveland, LA, Atlanta, Dallas, DC… the recommendations came pouring in and from all over.

Tristan Chan

Tacos, burritos, reverse nachos… my go-to is always Illegal Pete’s!

Stacey Goers

I love District Taco and TaKorean. Also, we make some killer chicken tacos at the Goers apartment on Capitol Hill.

Kate Oswalt

Local Taco!

Brad Hartsock

Pork mole negro at La Carta de Oaxaca in Seattle!

Chelsea Mitchell

I love Moontower Tacos in Denver! One time I had a frito pie (chilli and fritos) taco from there….so yeah, Moontower is amazing.

Brady Akers

Moontower is awesome. I also like Pinche and Margs Taco Bistro.

Philip Joyce

I’m a big fan of La Choza in Boulder. The al pastor is unbeatable. Pinche and illegal Pete’s are my second go-tos

Justin Vicroy

I consider myself a taco aficionado. In my opinion, Denver has a plethora of great taco options. 3 must-try places are Pinché (aka Tacos, Tequila, Whiskey); El Camino, & Billy’s Inn. But the best tacos come from street carts as you roam downtown while bar hopping. These carts have no discernible name, but always get the lengua tacos.

Philip Joyce

Thanks for the inspiration. Cooking up some al pastor now! #everyonesinvited

^WANTS!

Jess Baker

Atlanta: Nuevo Laredo & La Fonda

Christopher Day

My favorites in Denver are Los Carboncitos and Adelita’s Cocina Y Cantina, but I’ll never pass on a late-night taco from Illegal Pete’s.

Justin Vicroy

^oh man, how can I forget about Los Carboncitos…

Cory Pelc

Desiree Duzich

This is super tex mex, and definitely not the best place out of LA for tacos, but El Pollo Loco man

Colin Clancy

Dia de los Tacos in Marquette, Michigan

Kevin Risner

For Cleveland, oddly enough, there are quite a few spots here that have good tacos. You’ll get a different response depending on who in Cleveland you talk to. For me: Barrio, Lincoln Park Pub (for Taco Tuesday), and Luchita’s are three killer choices.
