My grandparents were from Nogales, which I believe is in Sonora, but I have never been there (actually, I think I did go there once for a few hours). So I'll hafta take your word for it. But I am casting the suspicious eye on ya. oO :mrgreen:

I think my other grandparents were from Santa Cruz (also in Sonora). And I know my Nana never made tacos with flour tortillas. But it could've just been a personal preference. I sure miss her "gorditas". Thick corn "tortillas", almost more of a corn flat bread.

I realize there are different styles of food throughout Mexico.

Mexico is an amazing place. It's an absolute crime that there are entire regions of it now that are off limits for safety reasons.

It's huge. 31 states, wildly variant cultural touchstones, music, dialects, food, you name it (esp. music).

I LOVE those thick corn tortillas and I really miss, more than anything else, the odd fish tacos and seafood around Hermosillo/Guaymas and remote parts of western BC.

And now, in northern BC, there is a huge, nascent wine culture.

Sigh. I hate what our drug war has visited upon those people and how they have to live.

Oh yeah, Mexican sea food. We used to go down to Rosarito for the deep fried lobster. Amazing. Ate a lot of breakfasts in Tijuana as a kid too. Huevos Rancheros was my fave.

I'll leave the political stuff alone, since we're having such a nice conversation. :)
 
I like the crunch better.
 
My hubby's favorite meal is tacos. He'd eat them nearly every night if he could. We brown some ground chuck, then shred and slice other ingrediants while meat is cooking. Prepare shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced olives, sometimes sliced avocados, sometimes refried beans, salsa, and sour cream. We like to use soft corn and flour tortillas (heated one by one in vege oil) separate with paper towels. Then it's a build your own tacos kitchen. We usually eat about 3 each.
 
Soft. Hard shell tacos really arent tacos- not in Mexico anyway. Then again, I have a preference for burritos and enchiladas over tacos.
 
EXCUSE me, Where is the Combo option, the hard shell inside a flour tortilla that has been coated with beans, TACO BRAVO at Taco Johns? Taco Bell calls it something else, but I almost never go there, after my bad experience 6 months ago I may just never give Taco Bell another dollar.

Anyways, that be my choice.

Fair enough.

Points further south.

Into the wilds.

I just noticed your location. Is that where you grew up? I grew up in San Diego.

Oh, hell no.

I grew up way farther north, in Big Sur/Carmel.

I just happen to know every last bit of Los Angeles because of work,

Gotta run.
 
You guys that are familiar with B.C., Mex down around Rosarito... You ever go a bit farther south to a little fishing village called Puerto Nuevo and have lobster? Man, that's a great little town to go have Tecates and seafood.

Soft, every time I eat a hard taco, I chip off part of it and everything falls apart.
