Finding the Best Hard Shell Tacos - All The Tacos
Ойын-сауық
Some people say that the hard-shell taco is sacrilegious. It is not a taco and it is not Mexican they say. But actually, that beautifully crispy and fried tortilla filled with cheddar cheese and lettuce does have a Mexican background and we should be very thankful and proud about it. On this episode, our taco guru Francisco Gómez takes us to the heart of California in search for the best hard-shell in town.

OMG this needs to happen more often. A Mexican (foreigner) who speaks English, sharing culture with an American who has Mexican (foreign) heritage. There's so much to learn and find out about all the differences there.
Tacos for me anytime of the day or night *I LOVE THIS CHANNEL* even more now....😋😋😋😋😋
I grew up (I'm 73) as the only anglo in the barrio (I was known as the vato americano). Our local corner store produced menudo (you had to bring your own pot to carry it away), enchiladas, tamales and hard shelled tacos. I remember asking for a taco in English and abuela in the back telling her granddaughter, "Dile al gringo que ya no hay." I replied, "Orale abuela déme un taco." "Pués, habla español entonces."

Mitla Cafe tacos are super amazing. The best hard shell tacos in Socal that I have ever had.
Nothing but respect for what most people consider as their gateway drug to the world's best cuisine. My first taste of Mexican food was a hard shell taco our neighbor made. Never looked back since then. Salute to Lucía Montaño whose recipe travelled oceans and links generations.
I gotta stop myself from binge watching this it makes me so hungry watching all those delicious tacos!
also I love the english translations of the spanish, hella stuff gets mistranslated or left out and its super funny

My grandpa, God bless him, frequently took me to Cielito Lindo for taquitos and a Coke in a glass bottle. That was about 55 years ago, and I still remember those occasions fondly. Really, there is so much spectacular Mexican food in Southern California, I don't know how you'd decide which establishment to feature.

My family ate at Mitlas every sunday from the 60s to about 93, or 94? They said something happened and it wasn't the same. Mitlas catered my grandfather's funeral a few years ago and I thought that they did a great job! Se hacen un jale bien chingasote cabrones!!! The food was soooooo gooood!!!
Can’t believe that I went into this with a real craving for some good hard shell shredded beef tacos & of course I’m thinking the location will be no where near me since I’m staying in SAN BERNARDINO CA I nearly fell off my seat seeing that this place that I drive by daily sells great hard shell tacos cause I been looking everywhere for some
Mitlas is fire!! I'm going broke always going back haha
Could we hook this guy up with Frank from the Pizza Show to make something together they’re both great hosts

The best of both worlds is freshly, light fried tacos in a skillet.
Nothing tops a two hard shell taco combo with rice and beans at a mom and pop restaurant. Extra points if they say “careful, hot plate” when dropping off the food

Titos is straight garbage marked up like crazy.
But really it looks delicious keep up the taco content.
What is a 'sacrilege' is taco bell. A lot of mexicans forget that hard shell tacos have always existed as 'tacos dorados', and as he said the food changes depending on the region. A lot of northerners have a dislike of the flavor from southern tacos, so who says you can't change the recipe as long as it tastes good.
