    Best Tacos in Bloomington/Normal.

    You will likely have a bit of a wait because the word has spread.

    Well... At least one of maybe 2 or 3 total in town for closest to authenticity. This is purely no frills good food. I sampled through a few of their tacos but to I had the burrito Al pastor. Tasty pulled pork wrapped encased in skins with beans and rice. Served it up with a Orange Fanta.
    Truth there's soda selection is weak - but I should have opted for the horchatta. Reasonably priced lunch.

    When you get home from work and you immediately throw your 'business casual' pants to the ground and slide into some gym shorts or sweatpants, you know the difference between eating a soft shelled taco with 1 tortilla shell versus 2 tortilla shells.

    Having more room to operate is always more comfortable if you do not understand the metaphor. Plus with 2 tortillas you don't have the situation where your taco collapses on itself 3 bites in.

    I tried the chicken, al pastor and chorizo tacos. I would rank them in that order.

    That is all you need to know about Veracruz, well not really but having two tortillas shells offer so much room to operate.

    No wonder this place has such a high rating! I loved my experiences here. Down to earth local taco place who serve the authentic tacos and friendly services.
    I was pleasantly surprised that they offered all those authentic tacos (beef tongue, beef tripe, pastor, etc). There are only 2 more places in town who do that. And those tacos might be the best tasting one out of all three! All the ingredients tasted super fresh and tasty.
    Their chips and salsa are pretty unique too. Especially the sauce, all 3 of them are too spicy for me, but they sure have all uniquely fresh flavors to them.
    Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

    Pretty solid, but not worth all the hype. I had a good quesadilla but it was a little too greasy. Pricing is great though.
