The final costume poll has begun! All the oldies but goodies are back for a final throwdown to determine which costume will reign supreme for the week of Halloween. A week from tomorrow will mark the inaugural Daily Taco "Taco Tuesday!" Come on over to Nick's Crispy Tacos from 6:30pm till whenever to eat some tacos and drink some Dos Equis with Senor Salty and the Daily Taco crew. Its a sure way to make the blog if you've been waiting for your 15 seconds of taco fame;) Now, on to the tacos. After my poor showing on Saturday's blog, I decided to give Taqueria San Jose another shot on The Daily Taco. T.S.J lies four long blocks away from casa de Fred. Not surprisingly, I partake of its Mexican fare far less often than that of my "two blocks away" standby, Rico's (Hey, a wise man once said: two extra blocks is two extra blocks, and who am I to argue with such amazing logic). As I dined on carne asada tacos after a nice 14 hour day at work, I realized what a shame it was that my lazyness prevented me from regularly venturing past Rico's if I was eating locally. It had been months since I had visited T.S.J., and I had clearly forgotten how tasty their food was. As that first bite of taco passed my lips, distant memories of previous San Jose taco runs became as vivid as if they had happened just yesterday. Saturday it was chicken, today it was carne, both times it was delicious. Tortillas, meat, salsa, cilantro, and guacamole combined in perfect harmony to create a truly great taco. I'd like to say that these two excellent meals will convince me to make the trek to T.S.J more often, but that may just be wishful thinking. Two extra blocks is two extra blocks after all;)
