this is hard for me because one of the local joints does a chile rellano taco that is physically bigger than your standard taco and comes with a higher price tag -- and they're realllly good

I'd say $2 overall tho

tumblr whineys (Cuauhtemoc Blanco), Saturday, 17 December 2011 06:49 (twelve years ago) link

$3 and ONLY that when I am in my overpriced work environs of midtown manhattan

Hurting, Saturday, 17 December 2011 07:17 (twelve years ago) link

And really even there I try to keep my occasional take-out lunches to $8 or less, which rules out three tacos.

I would pay ten dollars for a taco if it made me horny, other than that 2 bucks

how big is the taco?

I'd pay $4, but only for a really good taco.

good big

another suggestbanite (rusty flathead screwdriver), Saturday, 17 December 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link

if it's too big then it's not a taco anymore

iatee, Saturday, 17 December 2011 15:09 (twelve years ago) link

I would pay $6 for a really good taco - but only if I could yelp about it

nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Saturday, 17 December 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link

I guess that's an acceptable answer among Asian-Americans

did subway just roll-out a new line of low-fat tacos? if not I'm not sure how this thread concerns you

iatee, Saturday, 17 December 2011 15:35 (twelve years ago) link

there is corn in the taco. the tortilla is made of wheat or white flour, you can choose. it is folded in half. it was warm. the sour cream was on one side.

No upper limit. Don't give a fuck

moonbop, Saturday, 17 December 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link

My instinct says $5. But if we're talking a really amazing gourmet taco, I'd probably pay more. Not for an everyday meal, of course -- but I mean, I've paid $7 for restaurant appetizers that are the size of tacos.

jaymc, Saturday, 17 December 2011 21:20 (twelve years ago) link

$3.50 for an astonishing taco, please. and some chips and guacamole as well, thanks.

I would love tacos al pastor with extra limes and sliced avocados. I would pay 6 dollars for two.

JacobSanders, Sunday, 18 December 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link

breakfast tacos should top out around $2.50, but a good anytime taco is worth $5-6 no problem. a holiday taco might be upwards of $10. that's cool.

holiday taco?

Iatee, even your attempts at ""zings"" are embarrassing. Stop posting forever and recover what's left of your dignity, son

I mean, if its a really good fish taco, I'd pay a premium for it (good fish tacos are hard to find).

whiney did you miss that part at the top of the thread where I said "no fat bald men allowed itt" or did I forget to put that

lol I can imagine ten years from now, iatee gets done in by a hitman like at the end of the departed - and as the hitman turns around and leaves, he says "I live in the suburbs" and fade to credits

how many pounds can you put into a taco

i have spent time in mexico and the west coast of america, iatee. have you walked down the gallagate. doubt it.

why, is there a good taco truck there?

iatee, Sunday, 18 December 2011 03:08 (twelve years ago) link

On a job I worked on three years ago there was a lady who sold breakfast tacos from her van in packs of two for 3 dollars each. I still daydream about those. Tacos from a roach coach can't be beat, especially lengua.
