Some people say that the hard-shell taco is sacrilegious. It is not a taco and it is not Mexican they say. But actually, that beautifully crispy and fried tortilla filled with cheddar cheese and lettuce does have a Mexican background and we should be very thankful and proud about it. On this episode, our taco guru Francisco Gómez takes us to the heart of California in search for the best hard-shell in town.

I grew up (I'm 73) as the only anglo in the barrio (I was known as the vato americano). Our local corner store produced menudo (you had to bring your own pot to carry it away), enchiladas, tamales and hard shelled tacos. I remember asking for a taco in English and abuela in the back telling her granddaughter, "Dile al gringo que ya no hay." I replied, "Orale abuela déme un taco." "Pués, habla español entonces."

OMG this needs to happen more often. A Mexican (foreigner) who speaks English, sharing culture with an American who has Mexican (foreign) heritage. There's so much to learn and find out about all the differences there.

Grew up in Riverside and have ate every place several times. The best hard shell ground beef tacos anywhere are in Riverside though. Go to Tina's Mexican food on University Ave.

Gracias por esa exposición de sabor, ingenio, valentía y honestidad de quienes llevan su tierra en el corazón y se la muestran a los Estados Unidos con el corazón. Me hiciste llorar brother en estos tiempos de discriminación. Thank you for that exposition of flavour, wit, courage, and honesty of the people who carrie their country in the heart, and show it to the USA with the heart. You made me cry in this discrimination and deportation times.
