The Fabulous Taco Quiz is closed, and soon I shall tell you who is the newly crowned Taco Master.
But first, I will tell you the answers, because I know you are dying to figure it out.
Meat number one: Tripas (ruminant stomach)
St. Johns cart
Tacos Rodriguez on Airport
Meat number two: Lengua (or tongue)
La Canaria on Airport
Taqueria Selene on Sixth
Meat number three: pastor (or marinated pork from a shawarma spindle)
Tacos Selene on Sixth
Restaurant Guadalajara in Elgin
Meat number four: barbacoa (or slow-roasted cheek meat, usually from cows)
Taco-Mex on Manor
Tacos Selene on Sixth
Meat number five: chicharron (or fried pig skin)
St. Johns
Taco-Mex on Manor
Meat number six: carne guisada (or stew meat in gravy, this is why they were of two different colors, the gravies were of different recipes)
La Canaria on Airport
Taco-Mex on Manor
Extra credit part A: huevos y chorizo (a common breakfast taco filling using scrambled eggs and Mexican sausage derived from salivary glands)
La Mexicana on South First
Extra credit part B: buche (it’s unclear if this is pig stomach or pig esophagus, but probably the former – no other cart carries this meat that I know of, so there was only this one example)
Tacos Selene on Sixth
