We've had tacos all over the world - from mom's kitchen in New Jersey kitchen to unforgettable taquerias in Mexico City to Taco Tuesdays at our home in Hong Kong.
But we have to tell you the best taco we may have ever had was from a taco truck called La Cocinita in New Orleans.
We ordered three ground beef tacos from the truck - and were floored by the crisped white corn tortillas that confidently cradled a sequence of slaw, chipotle crema and juicy pearls of meat.
So simple, so good, so memorable.
We can't wait to return for more.
La Cocinita has trucks in New Orleans and Chicago, and restaurants in Evanston (now open) and New Orleans (opening in May 2024).
