For far too long,
Tacos have been given a bum wrap.
Sorry excuses for these savory morsels
have been passed along,
slathered with poor quality meat.
Sub-par cheese.
And thrown into flimsy, mass-produced shells.
That’s not a meal, my friend.
That’s a tragedy.
Real tacos deserve attention.
Every detail well-calculated.
Not by machine. Not by some formula.
But by the tried and true taste bud.
And homemade recipes passed through the generations.
Real tacos deserve real ingredients.
Fresh veggies. Meats of the same caliber.
Cheeses that aren’t legally called “product.”
And yes,
ingredients from the places real tacos were born.
And where real tacos are still loved today.
See, for far too long
Tacos have been disrespected.
Hidden on menus like second-rate citizens.
Forced to the supporting actor role of a la carte,
While burritos, quesadillas and drive-thru combos took lead.
Well, far too long has gone far enough.
Because now tacos have a new name.
Taco Ocho.
