Mexican Version of a Delectable Meal

If Italy is famous for its own pizza and America is more prominent for its beefy burgers, in Mexico, the version for a tasteful treat is a taco. I first fell in love with taco back home, where I could regularly get a piece from a vending cart. I was nonetheless happy with my favored filling of chicken and vegetables or the usual topping of ground beef in red sauce. But miles away from my humble turf, I've soon realized that what I consider a delightful serving is actually heavens away from what I've experienced here in Mexico.

Food critic or not, it would be much easier to spell out the real difference-- not in the filling or even the sauce but in sumptuous taco shells made of authentic corn tortilla. It took me just one bite to know how much of a fool I've been for tacos back home, when I can only get more excited with authentic Mexican taco combined with lettuce, sour cream, and spicy salsa folded in softer, warmer shells. Eating tacos with my own hands, I only knew then what I'm eating is the "real thing" that Mexican locals can only be more proud of. The variety for this culinary masterpiece}includes fish, chicken, turkey, vegetable, chili meat, and spicy steak tacos, making my travel in Mexico deliciously worthwhile.
