Description

Taco Asylum, as you might have guessed by now, is not a typical taco stand. It is a designer taco shop with a flat-screen TV tuned in to its own Twitter feed. It boasts a respectable library of eclectic draft and bottled beers. It sells thin, burnt-looking homemade chips dusted with a caustic smoked Serrano-chile powder, are designed to make you buy more beer. The menu is otherwise just tacos and only tacos, which are Mexican in inspiration, global in aspiration.

2012 | Best Taco

At $5, this is not a cheap taco, but once you take your first bite and recover from the onslaught of the ghost chili's eye-watering heat, you'll realize the texture of the thing--the combination of tender, braised pork; crunchy, crouton-like cracklins; and chili threads--is worth the few extra dollars. Plus, it's a big taco, with a fist-sized hunk of meat wrapped inside a handmade flour tortilla that manages to withstand the grease. Two of these make a meal, and if you put on a few... More »
