Una Mordida Tacos Tijuana returned with its second season to San Diego Red in 2021, a year marked by changes, adaptations, and the resumption of routines or customs that had been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, Una Mordida Tacos Tijuana returned with its second season to San Diego Red in 2021. Chef Danny tried three different taquerias each week and provided his verdicts and frank comments on each taco tested; as a result, we've compiled a list of the most incredible ten tacos of the season!

# 10 El Pepe Tacos / Crispy Steak Taco

The tenth place goes to Tacos El Pepe's golden roast beef taco, which is different from a traditional asada taco in that it has refried beans, and its tortilla is golden on the grill. The downside is that it's pretty tiny, but that didn't stop its unique flavors from shining through, such as the refried beans, the acidity of the habanero-tanned onions, or the charcoal of the tortilla. This cue received an 8.3 rating.

Price: 28 pesos (about 1.5 dlls)

# 9 Flowers and Peppers / Vegan Quesataco Tacos

Tacos don't always contain animal protein, and Flowers and Peppers are proof of that. Their hibiscus birria quesataco with potato-based cheese thrilled Danny, but their sauce almost makes him shout "best!" Because it was so hot, firefighters were called in! He awarded it an 8.4 rating.

The cost is $ 57 pesos (2.80 dlls)

# 8 La Monarca Carnitas / Pork butt Taco with pork scratchings

When served on a wheat tortilla, this taco had a "plot twist" that chef Danny felt would be intrusive, but it turned out to be an excellent complement when blended with all the other elements, such as meat and sauce. Avocado with coriander, which added a touch of perfect freshness, received an 8.5 rating.

The cost is $ 21 pesos (1.10 dlls)

# 7 Birrieria Zamora / Rib Taco This taqueria

Specializes in goat birria, and this taco goes above and above by presenting the goat rib in birria.

With an 8.5 rating, this taco is created with a homemade tortilla, pork, onion, and cilantro.

# 6 Taco Cachetona / Birria El Buchito

This birria taco is also unlike your typical birria taco since it has cheese and pig rinds in addition to the birria meat; Danny enjoyed the contrast of flavors. The chile de arbol sauce, on the other hand, gave it a superb taste despite being hot, and it received an 8.6 rating as a consequence.

# 5 Taquera Mi Casa / Suadero Taco

Chef Danny praised the beef as "cooked in time" since it was not hard or overdone, and it had much flavor. The tatemada sauce was also highly spicy, with a taste that drove all of the taco flavors together. The main flaw was that the tortilla was reasonably tiny; however, this did not prevent the taco from receiving an 8.6 rating.

Price: $ 26 pesos (about $1.25 dlls)

# 4 Kraken Seafood Restaurant / Taco al Pastor of Shrimp and Octopus

This is a taco you don't often see, and while the octopus has much taste, the shrimp doesn't. The cheese and cilantro avocado dressing added an excellent contrast to the taco, the tortilla was soft, and the only flaw was that it was a touch salty, which was easily remedied with a few drops of lemon. This cue received an 8.6 rating.

Frigate # 3 / Taco Frigate

Because there is a sheet of cheese between the chili loaded with shrimp and the tortilla, in addition to the shrimp being soaked in a chili sauce, our host described the taco as "an explosion of flavor." morita. The taco received an 8.7 rating because all of its elements, including sauces, condiments, cream, pico de gallo, and more, compliment each other without dominating one another.

# 2 Cucapah Vapor Tacos / Chicharrón Taco (Fried pork skin)

Although we're used to steaming meat and potato tacos, some establishments offer alternative options, such as this taqueria, which also has a steamed pig rind taco with a lot of it since its adobo de dried chiles managed to captivate us. One of the highlights was that it survived the tortilla test, despite being a block that generally breaks due to weight and humidity. It scored an 8.7 rating for this.

The cost is 20 pesos (one dollar)

#1 Taco de Musmon / Duck

This season, the strange tacos were the best qualified, with Musmón's duck taco taking the top prize. The protein is marinated in soy sauce, and an orange sauce with chiltepin is added as a compliment. This taco so won over Danny's taste that he awarded it the highest rating in Una Mordida Tacos Tijuana history, a whopping 9.5.
