Street tacos, made with real gravel and grit. Throw on some mud gravy if you feel adventurous. Then put it in your mouth at some point.
Unless I am to take this as “tacos from a street vendor,” which means face and brain matter, for the authentic cabeza flavor, and the cost-effectiveness that one reasonably associates with selling food out of a truck, unless you are still saving up for the truck. I forgot to check the ingredients but I am sure they are in there. Sure, I would eat that frozen and reheated. I hope this same brand starts offering street pizza as well. After eh, what is “evol” but evolution –survival and adaptation of the fittest– cut short? (It is also evil misspelled).

I think the thing that you may be missing is that these days “Street food” is fashionable, in the same way that intentionally ripped jeans are (were?) fashionable.
Frimpinheap sez:
Most fashionable! Look at the bland white box and the lame attempt at sounding “all natural” by referencing evolution, and implying that this is some superior progression over ordinary food! And yet it is in a box in a freezer cabinet! Fashionable also means putting hardly any food into a box and charging a premium rate for it.
Unfortunately I have to stop myself from pondering things too deeply, because when I do the pieces bloat up and up, taking days to write, which is not practical at this point in time.

You are very good at pointing out illogical products of human civilization.
PurpleSpace sez:
I prefer boulevard tacos, the pinnacle of taco evolution!
Indighost sez:
I prefer restaurant flautas myself. My new house is literally right next door (well almost) to this place, which is crazy good. The cheese alone is mind boggling, and yes, awesome. If you guys are ever in the NYC area you should check it out.

Are there any really good mexican restaurants in the New Haven/Bridgeport area? And your area, Purple?
Frimpinheap sez:
I believe sir Space was making a joke about relative fanciness.
I imagine that my preferred taco experience is totally inauthentic. I like best to buy the ingredients and make them myself; that way I can have 12 if I want. Restaurants like to cut me off at 3.
I do not know where you got Bridgeport from; I am further east, in Madison, and there is no place less than 20 minutes away that I would waste time at. There are Jalapeno Heaven and Margarita’s in Branford, which are decent, but my favorite is On the Border, in Hamden or thereabouts. Again, it is probably totally fake. I believe it is part of a chain; essentially the Applebee’s of bad Mexican food, but I like it. Which is ironic, considering my strict stance on pizza. I can get a big pile of food for 10 dollars and “free” refills on junk drinks. (otherwise I will just have water, which is less fun for celebrating. Even though buying a gallon at a store would cost and this is another topic)

thanks for the recommendations! I didn’t know you were so close to Hamonasset Beach. I visited there a while back, it was a nice place.
Tell me more about the strict stance on pizza! (If you have time.)
Frimpinheap sez:
Those are not recommendations for anyone but me! The places may well be terrible.
I have been spoiled by the “New Haven” style of pizza associated with this area, and as a result greatly dislike the product perpetrated by the likes of Pizza Hut that is fairly ubiquitous in other parts of the country, even at non-chain establishments. Cardboard crust of an eerily uniform shape, cheese, also of uniform color and texture that comes off in one piece, weird sauce out of a can that is often bright and pinkish or orange but rarely red. Of course the taste is most important but I would not know how to sum that up.

I have not yet found any great tacos in the city I have moved to!
