\"Burger<\/p>\n

As a longtime Latino \u2014 40 years and counting \u2014 for so long I have dreamed of an edible epoch in this nation\u2019s history when there would be some form of taco available on every street corner, from every fast food chain, and on every dollar menu. Now, thanks to Burger King, this simple dream is now one step closer to fruition.<\/p>\n

Besides the usual taco chains around town like Taco Bell or Del Taco, if I\u2019m under oath, I\u2019d have to admit that I supremely love Jack in the Box\u2019s taco deal, consisting of two greasy corn shells filled with meat and cheese, both for a little over a dollar; it\u2019s a good taste at a great price, especially when their ain\u2019t a convenient taqueria in sight.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

That being said, I do believe that Jack has finally met his snack match in Burger King\u2019s tremendo<\/em> Crunchy Tacos; with each equally greasy corn shell – that\u2019s from the deep-frying, ya\u2019ll – dripping with puro<\/em> faux-Mexican flavor, the additives of a small dash of lettuce and a sprinkle of cheese, as well as a nicely proportioned glob of seasoned beef that, remarkably, doesn\u2019t taste like ground up leftover hamburger filling, makes for a moderately spicy treat at a mostly fulfilling price.<\/p>\n

As I sat there in the lonely Burger King, munching on the crunchy taco with affordable ease, I immediately noticed how it\u2019s not at all rubbery, the way Jack\u2019s tacos can often quickly get, especially fresh out the deep-fryer. Instead, the King\u2019s maintains a stolid bite-path that never gets in the way of the beautifully greasy taste, which is far better than it sounds. These are very much like the tacos that one friend\u2019s mom would make when you spent the night as a kid -\u2014 contrived as Hell, but delicious as Heaven.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

Now if I had one complaint, it would be for the absolute lack of both taco sauce and<\/em> taco salsa \u2014 the taco sauce that was supposed to come with the taco and a couple of packets of taco salsa to be included with my order. That\u2019s like fries with no ketchup, if you ask me. So I guess if you happen to pick a pair \u2014 or even more, natch \u2014 of these tacos up, ask for extra sauce or, as I\u2019m gonna start doing, just bring your own. I recommend San Luis; it\u2019s in a white bottle that looks like bathroom cleaner<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Otherwise, McDonald\u2019s, it\u2019s your deep-fried taco move now. C\u00f3mpralo ya!<\/em><\/p>\n
