Best tacos and burritos I've ever had were in San Diego area. Don't know where I was, but several places. Just next level.
Aside from that, I've always had a special place in my heart for Betos in Ogden.
Favorite taco: Fish Taco

At the old school TexMex places I used to frequent in Austin while going to UT, eg Jorges (which is sadly gone now) they used to have a squeeze bottle of something resembling melted butter on the table that you’d lubricate your flour tortilla with before rolling it up and dipping into the chili con carne on the plate of TC Special enchiladas that you hungrily devoured while drinking some of the strongest margaritas known to man. God I miss those days, and Jorge’s.
Some of the best tacos I’ve found recently, are at a tiny taco shack called, creatively enough, Taqueria El Taco, here in Belton TX. They toast their tortillas on the grill right before assembling the tacos which makes a huge difference. The meat is incredible, too.

+10 on Taco Chronicles. Fantastic series.
Some favorites:
El Portal Auburn CA. Everyone swarms Maria's but the carnitas at El Portal are superior
Super Taqueria San Jose CA.
Xochi Issaquah - line gets crazy, they are pretty slow getting food out, but delish
Taqueria El Asadero Seattle - memorable sopes

Keep it simple - shredded beef or strips of grilled fish, greens with (lots of) cilantro, grilled onions and chopped tomatoes on a fresh toasted, semi firm corn tortilla topped with a bit of cheese and salsa verde.

I like the tacos from our local carniceria.
Sadly, we just got our first Taco Bell and people in this 45% Hispanic town of many awesome taco shops are actually excited."Let's be careful out there."

I have good memories as a kid of my Hispanic grandpa taking me and my sister to Taco Bell for gorditas before going across the tracks to my great grandmas house. She fled to the US during the revolution, pretty sure she didn't have any taco bell, but we ate nopales from her yard. Must have been around 98-99, which appears to be when they released the gordita.

Stumbled across a tab left open for this book that looks interesting:
The Italian political right is outraged by halal tortellini and a pork-free lasagna served at the Vatican. In India, Hindu fundamentalists organize attacks on Muslims who sell beef. European anti-immigrant politicians denounce couscous and kebabs. In an era of nationalist and exclusionary movements, food has become a potent symbol of identity. Why has eating become so politically charged—and can the emotions surrounding food be redirected in a healthier direction?
Fabio Parasecoli identifies and defines the phenomenon of “gastronativism,” the ideological use of food to advance ideas about who belongs to a community and who does not. As globalization and neoliberalism have transformed food systems, people have responded by seeking to return to their roots. Many have embraced local ingredients and notions of cultural heritage, but this impulse can play into the hands of nationalist and xenophobic political projects. Such movements draw on the strong emotions connected with eating to stoke resentment and contempt for other people and cultures.
Parasecoli emphasizes that gastronativism is a worldwide phenomenon, even as it often purports to oppose local aspects and consequences of globalization. He also explores how to channel pride in culinary traditions toward resisting transnational corporations, uplifting marginalized and oppressed groups, and assisting people left behind by globalization. Featuring a wide array of examples from all over the world, Gastronativism is a timely, incisive, and lively analysis of how and why food has become a powerful political tool.
I wish I were clever enough to locate that place from just the skyline. How is it? Gonna be back in SLC in 2 weeks, I should check the SLC eats thread.
