Lorena and Christian told me about a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona they thought was a favorite in the one true taco shop competition. To be honest, I never though anything north of the Rio Grande would ever get close to the shop we loved in Lewisville, TX. Now, after visiting Los Taquitos in Phoenix (there is another one at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix), I think we might have to relegate Tacos Regio Monterrey into second place. That is NOT to suggest that Tacos Regio is in any sense diminished. I will eat there every time I get the chance and make and effort to make chances. It is just that Los Taquitos has somehow managed to make a taco that would be hard to turn down if I had the choice between the two and that is saying a LOT. The salsa is hot and sabrosa, they are served with two small, soft, corn tortillas along with beans and rice, and the carne asada is a nice cut, cooked to perfection. Christian says they are consistent, too. The strip mall ambiance is definitely a step up from the gas station parking lot ambiance of Tacos Regio, but that is almost a downside for this kind of eating experience–Tacos Regio was 100% Mexican, including the continuous operation of TV’s showing soccer and Mexican soap operas. If these two places were in the same town, it would make me schizophrenic.
