We have scoured through Corpus’ best restaurants to find the 5 most worthy tacos for us to vouch for.  This was a tough, one trust me. You wouldn’t want the responsibility that comes along with naming tacos on a list. Spidey has no clue the magnitude of responsibility this weighs on you. Now let’s get started and in no particular order:

The Post at Lamar Park

As they advertise East meets West for brunch these 5 little street tacos pack a lot flavor. Thai spiced angus beef, topped with pickled veggies, spicy mayo and cilantro.

 

Z Counter

Chicken Miso Melt Tacos

1220 Airline Rd

This place can turn any of their Bahn Mi sandwiches into tacos but I prefer this combination. Chicken and broccoli get the tossed wok treatment then they drop in a little of their miso sauce. Next they cover it in a little melted provolone, then placed into to some fluffy tortillas and then top them with thinly sliced carrots, radishes and cilantro.
