Twin Cities Taco Tour - Tacqueria Los Ocampo

Sun Yuchen is a liar, thief, charlatan, and all around cunt. But I don't need to tell you that. Find me at Hive, where we are glad to be rid of him and all of his fake followers, sockpuppets, and thieves.
Yum, this post is making me hungry. Although the restaurant is definitely not the cheapest, if their food is as good as you described it, I would be a regular customer. The description of the meat made my mouth water, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside.
My favorite Mexican food is Chile Verde, with carnitas. I also enjoy eating grilled jalapenos, even though they make my mouth feel like its on fire. After reading this post, I think tomorrow I am going to have to get some tacos!
Grilled or roasted jalapeños are the pinnacle of what you can put on a taco. Sadly there aren't any tacquerias I've been to that will give you one with your tacos, but you can order one a la carte from some places.
There is a buffet in town which offers several varieties of food, and one section is dedicated to tacos. They certainly are not as good as the tacos you posed about, but they do offer all you can eat grilled jalapenos. I usually eat them until my mouth is on fire, then sometimes my stomach will ache and I regret it later. But yes, I agree, they are great for putting on tacos.
Taco buffet? I am intrigued.
I love authentic mexican food, and that looks about as good as it gets. When you start getting radishes/cilantro/onion instead of the very americanized cheese/lettuce/tomato, you know you're in the right place.
I only discovered this like 3 years ago after moving out of the midwest to southern california. Authentic mexican food is cheap and so amazingly good. It shattered my reality of what mexican food actually is... I was living in a bubble apparently.
If your #tctacotour ever makes it out this way let me know - I've found a few hole-in-the-wall places that are just amazing.
Edit - Oh, and have you ever tried cochinita pibil? I didn't until this year, one of my new favorites.
I've only tried cochinita pibil at one restaurant, a nicer sit-down place. I'll be visiting there for one of these posts, their tortillas are the best.
I was shocked at how good the pickled onions are.
There weren't any pickled onions sadly, but I went to the restaurant I mentioned above and had their cochinita pibil. Turns out that means baby pig, and it totally wasn't worth eating a baby pig. https://steemit.com/food/@pfunk/twin-cities-taco-tour-fancy-edition-la-fresca
Looking scrumptious and this calls me for a good lunch right about... NOW! Thanks, namaste :)

How come that whenever I am hungry, I see something so delicious on the TV or the internet that I just want to grab it out of the screen or dive head first into the screen myself.
I could eat a million of those tasty, mouth watering, little pieces of delight. This is literally my soul food right here!! YUM YUM!!
@pfunk -- It was so strange to see Los Ocampo in my Steemit feed.. lol!
I was just there the other day! :) great share! Cheers and GO #tctacotour!
Nice, it's a hard place to resist going to isn't it. The only reason I'm not there all the time is all of the other places.
Nice to see another Twin Citian here on Steemit, I have been to Los Ocampo many times!
I used to not consider them among my favorites but they're really growing on me.
I'm in Minneapolis too!
Never been to Los Ocampo before, but I like most things in and around the Midtown exchange. Andale Taqueria (across the street from the Richfield Menard's) is one of my favorites, parking is a nightmare though. And Taqueria Hacienda on W. Lake is pretty good too.
Tough to find good Mexican food in the Twin Cities and it's not usually for a good price. When I moved here I was used to El Paso quality and prices, and Taco Cabanas off of every exit.
The last time I went to Hacienda it was not so great, but I intend on giving them another shot. Andale is way up there for me. Though their nachos are so damn good I only get tacos about half the times I visit.
