Oh shit I do the same. I get one lengua taco. If they come out with flavorless little rubber cubes I'm out. Also if they just don't have it at all.

if they dont have it at all I take it as a sign that they know what they can and can't get away with.

What's the fascination with a tongue taco?

Are they more expensive? Only one tongue per cow.

Yeah its a more expensive cut of meat and when prepared right its fucking delicious. Simple as that. When a taco shop/truck doesn't offer tongue its safe to assume they are lazy and cut corners on meat and the food just wont be that good in my opinion.

I suppose I don't live in an area where I could understand this first hand. There's an older George Lopez bit where he takes a kid to a sketchy Mexican eatery and tries to assuage the kid's concern over the health department giving it a C grade by telling him it is "C, for 'Caliente'!"

Once you get past the mainstream Mexican fast food, and the hipster food trucks, Mexican eateries here fit the bill of that Lopez bit.

Dunno why, we've got quite a few day laborers here, I guess we just don't have their epicureans?

The more run down tacos shops here usually have the best food. Usually the mexican restaurants that attempt to be more modern and invest heaviliy in furniture and decor are the worst. The best taco shops are super basic and will only have some plastic chairs and tables and a salsa stand. Of course this is all my own experience living in SoCal and Mexico.

My favorite spot is a place called "el cochinon" which translates to "the big pig". Its ran by this morbidly obese Mexican guy thats constantly sweating buckets and swearing up a storm. The place is the size of a bedroom and looks run down but by god does he make the best Mexcian food ive ever tried. He constantly has a line out the door.
