TaquerĂ­a La Negra

************ Sep 28, 2020 🖤🌽You ever had a black corn tortilla? 🌽🖤 At @taquerialanegra they mix in the CDMX specialty huitlacoche (corn fungus) into the masa to make these tortillas negras. And this particular taco was a shredded chicken in black escabeche salsa with chile xcatic. So unique and delicious. Washed down with a cold agua de tamarindo. ‘Member this...

New friends. New perspectives. New year. New decade and of course NEW TACOS! Perfect end to a powerful and #Unlikely mastermind event over NYE with the incomparable @michaelmarcial6. These chef-fave 🌮🌮🌮 made with their own in-house tortillas and adobo salsa were quite good from newcomer to the SLC scene @punchbowlsocial. Don’t know if I’ve ever had cocoa-charred...

FĂĄcil TaquerĂ­a

************ Jun 5, 2019 #FarmtoTaco Every month, I have a goal to do something I've never done before. Thanks to TEDxRiverton taking experiential learning and inspiration to a whole new level, I had a first time taco experience today. We all got to pick cilantro planted in February at the @PetersenFarmers family farm and put it on our tacos. How cool is that...

Guzman y Gomez Mexican TaquerĂ­a

ía-video.mp4 Part of what makes the taco experience magical is the attention to detail. And one of the many merits of the Japanese culture is the crazy-high level of respect and courteousness for others and admirable level of attention to detail. So when the #searchfortheperfecttaco took me to Tokyo, Japan 🌮🔎🇯🇵with @convoi_ and @acanelaexpeditions, I was excited to...

Taco Chelo

March 15, 2019Scott PorterAdd comment

Julia Child said, “People who love to eat tacos are always the best people.” Wait…I threw “tacos” in there, but we all know that’s what she really meant. And she was right. The fiesta for the 1st Taco R&D stop (in prep for our #nationaltacotour) at @TacoChelo in PHX was a blast! Winners @marthita_hdz and @greeneyezsalazar13 brought friends and family (and the...

Cody’s Gastro Garage

January 24, 2019Scott PorterAdd comment

Carnitas, chrome and cosmic jack-hammering. While the carnitas taco itself was fine, what did 🤯 was the attention to on-brand experience detail at Cody’s Gastro Garage diner. While eating under a jacked up car, we wiped our hands on our red “napkin” rags and discovered that water activated black “grease spots” appeared. 😱 (🔍look closely on that red rag) UnREAL...

Los Panchos

December 18, 2018Scott PorterAdd comment

Taco Mecca visit in full effect. Had to check out the iconic @LosPanchosRest. 70+ years of delivering taco happiness in all forms of 🐖. This “Petrolero” was a handmade corn tortilla slathered with beans, topped with carnitas to make you 🤤 and then chicharron crunchies on top. I overcame my chicharron PTSD and ate it as is (not too bad, scrapped off some of the bigger...

I have to admit, when we stopped into the food court at the mall (malls are everything in the UAE) and spotted tacos (searching, always searching), I was skeptical. Let’s just say these chicken pastor (no pork, of course) scratched the itch. Stretchy tortillas 🤔, medium heat on the salsa…they were tacos in Abu Dhabi and they did have lime so 👏🏽! And essentially in the shadow of this Grand Mosque. And wow. What a stunning, reverent and holy place! Thanks @suiteexperiences for the journey…“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes

It was like @liladowns knew us. This was a first night anthem to kickoff our taco tour mastermind weekend. (And anthem for life).  "Yo tengo... Yo tengoooooooo ganas de comer tacos!"  ["I want... I waaaaaant to eat tacos!"]  She's a Grammy-winner and Mexican legend. She blew our minds and brought down the house at Palacio de Bellas Artes @palaciooficial. She exudes a passion and celebration of culture, life, love, food and heritage. Unabashedly herself! Spectacular show with folklore dancers, duet with @natalialafourcade and full orchestra...we couldn't get enough.  Inspired by Lila’s call to arms, we obviously went for late night tacos. It's what you do.  @taqueriaorinoco was exactly what we needed. Abundance of TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS TACOS:  Sueltos de trompo and res Piratas Gringas Campechanas And of course, papas orinoco Oh what a night! @forevervitamint Interested in joining us the next #exectacotour in June or Nov?

This absolute powerhouse group right here! So insanely grateful for each of them. Juggling so many things (businesses they founded and are operating, families, volunteer and church leadership, personal development), they intentionally carved out 4 days out to focus on 2 things: brand/personal transformation and #chasingtacos. 🌮🏃🏾‍♂️ Makes perfect sense to me. Both things I'm completely obsessed with. And precisely the reason I created these executive taco tour mastermind weekends. We like to call Vitamin T — tacos and brand transformation. @forevervitamint @jgamett perfectly described what happened to each of us a few weeks ago in Mexico City: "Initially I thought I was going to enjoy tacos & culture with fellow CEOs, but I received a whole lot more. I returned a with a clear vision for my company, conviction to make the needed changes and energy to see them through. It was perfect timing and I had no idea how bad I needed it!" This was not your ordinary mastermind. Not your regular Mexico weekend. It was the taco tour of a lifetime...but wasn't just about the tacos. For me, it was just magical and truly incredible to see what happened to each of us in our group. Non-stop human connection on wild display — in the thick of every taco interaction, of every immersive cultural experience, every conversation with each other and every regular old street encounter. The a-ha's, the light bulbs, the motivation to incorporate human connection into our business and personal brand DNA and then in our brand experience design. Powerful. We're bonded for life. Peers. Mentors. Deep friendships certain to get deeper. Committed to each other's personal and business success (and to living a life where every day is Taco Tuesday)! Forever grateful! #vitaminT #mastermind #exectacotour @jonnyrich44 @bobmacey @benrollins_ut @bhurd2u @mrrandallsparks @claywinder @saulignacio @danielodonnal @jasonhassinger @jeffmask @s_brady_b @sayrestewart @piterpunk @scottcporter @searchfortheperfecttaco
Happy Taco 2sday! Double trompos is double your pleasure. One classic pastor de puerco and the other pastor de sirloin. But actually the surprise standout taco here was camarones. 🍤🌮🏃🏽‍♂️ fresh tortillas. Tasty aioli sauce on the grilled shrimp. Excelente! Hat tip to @jambalaya_jeenyus for the first time visit here. Nos vemos pronto @taqueriagabriel! @forevervitamint #vitaminT #chasingtacos
Just driving by on a random street in CDMX Centro Histórico…but need to pay tribute to all of these people living their best taco life. Wish we could have stopped because the masses are a pretty good sign the tacos are worth it. There’s nothing like the taco culture. Hasta la próxima!
If you have a captive audience, shouldn’t you STILL care about quality and service??? I mean, shouldn’t the sense of pride in what you do be consistent no matter if your customers have no other option or you have a monopoly??? Principles you learn on the search for the perfect taco. It’s with great sadness that I’m reporting that the taco scene in the Guadalajara airport is abysmal. I mean, I shouldn’t have expected much but you know it’s bad with you ask 4-5 of the airport workers where the best tacos are and they hang their heads in shame and send you to Chili’s. 😳 Tacos Amigos is literally the only taco option (except for the one Mexican cafe that pre-cooked their taquitos and reheated them for you…no thanks.) It looked a bit sus but then I saw the tortilla press and thought that was encouraging. Turns out looks were deceiving. It pains me to say but the tortillas were flavorless. As was the pastor meat. I literally couldn’t even finish them. What?! I NEVER do that. Mortal sin. I was so disappointed. And really really happy to get to CDMX in prep for next week’s exec taco tour mastermind! HOWEVER, there’s always light at the end of the oppressively dark tunnel of terrible tacos…I found @pasteleriasmarisa! Cue the angel chorus. I always ask if they have anything sugar free. When they told me they have almost everything in sugar-free versions, I nearly hugged her and almost shed tears of joy. Ever since giving up white sugar 14 years ago, I haven’t had an oreja. When I was a missionary in Mexico they were some of my fave cookies! And THEN, she said they had tres leches cake with blueberry filling and I lost it. Ladies and gentlemen, the sun has set on a long night of a life without tres leches cake! It was incredible. Sweetened with stevia. Creamy. Moist (yep, I said it). The texture was perfect. My dad always says he could eat a bale of hay if it had real whipped cream on it. My dad is a very very wise man!
The only question we all should be asking is why in the world is there an empty space for a taco and we didn’t fill it?!?! #tacotragedy When you hit up @velvettaco for the first time, you really want to try *all* of their innovative taco mash-ups and then you’d spot the red curry coconut (whaaaat?!) queso and you forget everything. Pretty sure there’s a Cuban pig, angus brisket, and spicy tikka chicken taco in there somewhere. Fusion done so right. All the super savory flavor combos. The vibe. Can’t wait to go back and eat my way through the entire menu!
Brunch time flashback. Chilaquiles are basically deconstructed and smothered breakfast tacos, right? Nachos for breakfast. And with this view on our last meal before leaving the magical Tepoztlán. We finally found grapes to do the New Year’s Eve countdown. Más vale tarde que nunca verdad? Delicious and late start to 2022!! #felizañonuevo #2022 #vitamint #chasingtacos
