Like, the sauce? Don’t know about that, man. I’m not really into the whole vegetable thing. Got any other reasons that you moved? Nah, New York is cool ’round Christmas time but it’s always way too crowded and I’ve definitely fell on my ass more than once walking on the icy sidewalks. Spring is a real good time for the city. Early fall is nice, too.

Not gonna lie, they’re actually not bad depending on where you go. I just wanted more beaches and surfing. So anytime but winter or summer. Got it. The last thing I need is to slip on some ice in front of a bunch of tourists. That’s the nice thing about Southern Cali. It’s pretty much perfect weather year round.

Wtf is buffalo cauliflower? Don’t really miss Arizona all that much, but I sometimes miss the West Coast because the weather is awesome there. I’ve been here for like, almost a year now and the winter is fucking brutal. Don’t know how people do it. New York gets cold as fuck, not gonna lie, but it’s way colder here. I’m def down to do a trip sometime, whenever you wanna go back. New York is so fun, man, there’s no place like it. Since you’re gonna show me around Cali, I gotta return the favor and show you around New York sometime. Let me know if you find ‘em, and I’ll try ‘em.

It’s cauliflower tossed in buffalo. It’s like the vegan version of buffalo wings. Do you not have those here? Yeah, I remember them being rough. One of the many reasons I moved out to California. That sounds like a fair trade to me as long as we do it in the spring. I’m not trying to walk 10 blocks in the snow.

Definitely not my thing. Nothin’ with vegetables as the main ingredient is my thing. For real? That’s awesome. I’ve been to Cali a couple of times when I lived in Arizona, but haven’t been since. New York has been more my scene lately. Well, they taste good to me so I’m gonna keep chowing down on chalupas. Just looked them up and they look pretty good. They anything like tuna sushi rolls?

No, you don’t strike me as the salad and buffalo cauliflower type. Sounds like you’re due for another trip. If you ever need someone to show you the good taco trucks in Cali, hit me up. It’s not perfect, but I can’t see myself living on any other beach. New York, huh? I’ve always wanted to go. It sounds like a good time if the movies and Instagram are anything to go by. You do you, man. I’m just saying that you need to get your hands on some birria tacos if you really wanna live. If you like tuna sushi rolls, you’ll go crazy for nachos.

Don’t hear that a lot, homesick from the place your parent aren’t at. The West Coast definitely has the best tacos that I’ve ever had, no wonder you’re homesick. If you’re talking about the caucasity of this place, no offense, then yeah I agree. Some places get it right, though. Never had Jack in the Box, but I’ll take your word for it. McDonalds has gotten some cash from me before, so I’m not innocent when it comes to that shit. Fuckin’ barely.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my family, but Vermont’s never felt like home for me. If I could pick up my parents and sister and move them to the West Coast, I would. Home is surfing and street tacos, not snow and small towns. Not exactly, but you’re not wrong. If you want some damn good maple syrup then this is the place to be, but I’ll take a breakfast burrito over pancakes any day. Hey, I’m not pretending I haven’t dropped a paycheck’s worth on some burgers or nuggets in my lifetime. Definitely don’t recommend Jack in the Box, though. If you’re drunk or got a case of the munchies, it hits the spot, but it’s not something you eat sober.

greysvaldez·:

You here on vacation or something? Shit, exactly. I’m all for some salsa verde, but if that’s all a place has, it aint the real deal. That right? Hard to find people who can handle some spice. You gotta try the Carrot Habanero at Gordo’s. Taco Bell only really cuts it when you’re drunk out of your mind. Chipotle is a little better, but not by a lot.

I’m visiting family, which is great, but I’m homesick already. This place couldn’t be any more different from California. Really? Sounds like you’re hanging out with the wrong people, but from what I remember from here, this town doesn’t look like it can handle spice. Carrot Habanero. Got it, but honestly, I’m gonna get all of them to test them out. Exactly. There’s something about Taco Bell and Jack in the Box that just hits different when you’re drunk. I can’t remember the last time I had Chipotle, but I do know it’s a step up from Taco Bell.

[liampetersons]

parkerrhaynes·:

Oh, that sounds real fuckin’ gross. Glad that’s not a thing. You visiting someone, or vacationing or somethin’ on your own? Or, ya know, maybe it’s actually good. Cheese is cheese, and it’s amazing. Nah, neither. I’ve been gettin’ into sushi tho, so I guess I don’t hate all fish.

Oh, I’m sure it’s a thing. It’s just not my thing, or yours apparently. I’m visiting family, but normally I’m out in California. It’s not bad for what it is, but those aren’t tacos, dude. I hate to break it to you. Okay, okay, sushi I can work with. You’d probably be into ahi tuna nachos.

[liampetersons]

parkerrhaynes·:

As long as it’s not like fuckin’ brussel sprouts I’m down to try any kind of food. Lemme know when you find a good taco place and I’ll check it out. Why not? Most tacos taste the same to me. Their nacho cheese is awesome.

I’ve never had brussel sprout tacos, so I think you’re good. Apparently Taco Gordo is pretty good, but I’m just in town visiting so I can’t say I have any recommendations for you. You’re only saying that because you haven’t eaten many tacos. Have you ever had carne asada? Fish tacos?

[liampetersons]

greysvaldez·:

You really can’t go wrong with anything they’re selling over there, but the brisket is dope. I normally go for the chicken though, because I can eat more of those at once. You gotta check out all of their sauces and find out which one you like best. You into spice? I think my record is 20, but I’m always looking to beat it. Hey, you get it. Sometimes it just hits fucking right.

Good to know. I’m here for a few weeks, so I’ll have a chance to try all the tacos and sauces. You know a taco place is good when they have sauce options. Yeah, I’m into spice. I’ve tried very few sauces that I couldn’t handle. The spicier, the better. I don’t think I’ve ever kept track, but it’s definitely up there. Exactly, but I’m far from home and Taco Bell isn’t going to cut it right now. 

[liampetersons]

parkerrhaynes·:

Don’t know what a street taco is, unless you mean like a food truck. Damn, is there somethin’ wrong with Taco Bell? Have you ever had their quesadillas???? They’re really fuckin’ good.

I wouldn’t say no to a good food truck, but not exactly. I can’t explain a street taco to you. You just need to eat one for yourself and fall in love with it. There’s nothing wrong with Taco Bell, but if I’m craving tacos, they’re not really my top choice.

[liampetersons]

greysvaldez·:

I heard tacos, and I came running. Taco Gordo is where it’s at around here. Their sauces are fucking awesome, I could eat 50 of their tacos no problem. Hey, if it’s 1am and I need something quick, I’ll go to Taco Bell. Just don’t tell my ma.

My kind of dude. Taco Gordo, got it. You’ll probably find me there by the end of the week. Your secret’s safe with me. I get it. Sometimes I want to eat 50 tacos in one sitting. Sometimes I just need a Cheesy Gordita Crunch and a couple of beers. We’ve all been there.

[liampetersons]

Alright, so important question for people who know their way around. Where can I get the best tacos? Preferably street tacos, but I’ll take anything at this point. Except Taco Bell. Obviously.
