Taco test

Surfside wins. We had a really great carnitas taco -- juicy, slow-cooked shredded pork bursting with flavor -- when we just beat the crowd there Saturday night. Grilled fish taco was also very good, though not a match for the fried fish taco at General Store.

Taqueria Nacional, on the other hand, was a bit of a disappointment given that a lot of people rate it highly. Grabbed a couple of tacos there after a quick appearance on FBN -- again pork and fish. But they were somewhat bland and dry. I was actually disappointed that there was no juice leaking through the bag.
