    I bet you a million bucks that there's better roadside stands no one has ever heard about.
  • Taco man keeping it real and saying "I dont know why you waited 2 hours man, you could just go to any other taco stand on this street its all good"

    I don't care about Michelin. I believe every city, every town, every family has their own top dishes.

    No surprise, many more to come. Some of the best food in the world comes from the streets. Some of these stands have master family-owned recipes passed down through generations, and it's time for them to get the recognition they deserve. 👏🏻👏🏻
