It&#8217;s 31 days of tacos. Since we&#8217;re getting started a few days late, you&#8217;re just going to have to double up on tacos for a couple of days. I was able to compile a list of 48 places, so if one or more of your choices happens to be closed on any particular day, you&#8217;ve got plenty more to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>So where do I go for tacos? There are two kinds I really enjoy. If I want authentic tacos, I go to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100087986184003\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Jimenez Y Friends<\/a>. If I want more of a basic taco, then I get the giant taco platters from Rosa&#8217;s. I&#8217;m sure there are hundreds more great tacos out there, so maybe you&#8217;ll find your favorite \u2014 or discover a new favorite \u2014 somewhere on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Abuelo&#8217;s Mexican Restaurant \u2014 4401 82nd St.Albarran&#8217;s Mexican Bar &amp; Grill \u2014 7722 Milwaukee Ave.Amigos Mexican Restaurant \u2014 5001 34th St.Anna&#8217;s Mexican Restaurant \u2014 6909 Indiana Ave.Arandas Taqueria \u2014 4001 34th St.Asada Mexican Grill \u2014 10609 Slide Rd., Ste. 500Brava Mexican Kitchen + Bar &#8211; 7604 Milwaukee Ave. Suite 400Burrito King \u2014 1620 Avenue QBurrito Tower #2 \u2014 4701 I-27Cancun Restaurant \u2014 7905 University Ave.Cha-Cha&#8217;s Mexican Cafe \u2014 1823 Buddy Holly Ave.Chimy&#8217;s \u2014 2417 Broadway.Colimas | Mexican \u2014 1308 50th St.El Charro \u2014 5011 I-27.El Rico Taco \u2014 4817 I-27Fuzzy&#8217;s Taco Shop<br \/>2102 Broadway10101 Slide Rd., Ste. 101Garcia&#8217;s Mexican Restaurant \u2014 5604 Slide Rd.Jimenez y Friends Barbecue y Taqueria \u2014 4606 34th St.Joel&#8217;s Restaurant \u2014 3116 Amherst St.Josie&#8217;s Restaurant \u2014 5101 Aberdeen Ave.La Caba\u00f1a \u2014 1105 E. 50th St.La Palapa Mexican Restaurant \u2014 6253 Slide Rd.Las Palmas \u2014 2821 50th St.Leal&#8217;s Tamale Factory \u2014 6205 19th St.Mar y Tierra<br \/>5702 19th St.2531 82nd St.Mi Linda Michoacana \u2014 2331 34th St.Mi Taco Village \u2014 220 Regis St.Mi Tierra Taqueria \u2014 5217 98th St., #900Miguel&#8217;s LBK \u2014 2002 BroadwayNow We Taco&#8217;n Taqueria \u2014 1021 University Ave., Unit 1025Picantes Mexican \u2014 3814 34th St.Picoso&#8217;s Mexican Kitchen \u2014 7611 Milwaukee Ave.Polibertos<br \/>107 Beech Ave.5052 Frankford Ave.Polly&#8217;s Place \u2014 1815 Avenue BRoberto&#8217;s Taco Shop<br \/>7717 Milwaukee Ave., Ste. 1006417 34th St., Ste. 100Robles Taquer\u00eda \u2014 1602 Main St.Rosa&#8217;s Caf\u00e9 &amp; Tortilla Factory<br \/>3115 50th St.4407 4th St.5103 82nd St.Taco Bell<br \/>2408 82nd St.9832 Slide Rd.4618 50th St.6512 82nd St.402 Avenue Q5713 4th St.5010 Milwaukee Ave.1905 50th St.Taco Casa<br \/>6815 82nd St.8720 University Ave.Taco Villa<br \/>1911 50th St.4516 50th St.5402 4th St.8006 Indiana Ave.7110 Quaker Ave.3428 Milwaukee Ave.9809 Slide Rd.7727 Milwaukee Ave.13206 University Ave.Taqueria Jalisco \u2014 2211 Avenue QTaquer\u00eda Autl\u00e1n \u2014 2722 50th St.Taqueria Y Panaderia Guadalajara \u2014 1925 19th St.Tejas Taco Company \u2014 70 S.
