This started as poor people food and it’s morphed into some culinary school cuteness bullshit.

There are still cheap tasty tacos all over the place.  

Both can exist.  Both tacos.

I’ll agree, the farther you get from the border, the more they have to substitute authentic ingredients for generic shit from Sysco and Ben E. Keith. 

Can they even get flour and cilantro in Houston?!?!

you can tell the austin list is bullshit because it doesn't include a single entry from the north lamar taco mile. 

Yeah the dudes from the RGV running Con Todo and Discada are totally a bunch of bullshit frauds who put French dressing on their tacos and serve them in a metal turkey pan.

I'm from the Valley and still live there half time. Tacos are Mexico's gift to the world.  And they can be great in a variety of ways.   The cheap bistek/deshebrada/pastor/asada, etc tacos on the greasy little double tortillas from the cheap stand or gas station are magic.  But so are the "fancy" ones with smoked mushrooms, waygu beef, duck, etc. on fresh, nixtamal tortillas.  No need to argue.
