O
nce upon a time, tacos meant ground beef, a
little onion, and cheese in a shell that would
shatter with the first bite. While those versions
still exist, tacos have been reinvented,
from the shell to the fillings inside. Soft tacos,
cheese tacos, and crispy tacos are now stuffed with everything
from tender brisket to fresh shrimp topped and with a
variety of vegetables and condiments.
Street tacos have eclipsed most of their taco cousins.
From the authentic street tacos comprised of meat, onion,
and cilantro, served in a soft tortilla to the more adventurous
tacos topped with everything from avocado to mangos,
these tacos are always a hit. Whatever your preference, you
are guaranteed to find it in one of El Dorado's fine Mexican
restaurants.
ittle Brother Mexican Restaurant features handmade
corn tortillas with their street tacos. f you've never had
handmade tortillas, you are in for a treat! Warm, soft, and
full of corn avor, these tortillas add an element of avor
that cannot be found anywhere else.
Tacos Helen offers a variety of meats for their tacos. My

favorite happens to be the chorizo taco, followed by their
famous towering fruit cup.
My true favorite street taco - at least this week - is the
brisket taco at Antigua's. The meat is succulent and falling
apart good.  skip the hot sauce and use their house salsa,
which is always amazing.
The extensive menu at Fernando's Mexican Grill, located
just west of El Dorado, includes a delicious Taco de Asada
served on either corn or our tortillas. Their tacos come
with the traditional toppings of onion, cilantro, lime, and
avocado, and are served with their signature hot salsa.
 am allergic to everything that swims, so 've never actually
had a fish taco. However,  polled my seafood-loving
friends, who reported that their favorite fish tacos could be
found at Black Cat Café, Flying Burger, Maggy  ucy's, and
aredo Grill.
ewcomers and visitors are often surprised to find out
just how good the taco scene is in El Dorado. From handmade
tortillas to delicious fillings and toppings, El Dorado
has a taco for everyone! p
