just the idea that it’s 4 tacos for $15 tells us that you’re in a great place. Usually tacos are $2 each when lucky. These are practically Tacolicious, SF prices.
Fine. I hope I don't offend anyone. It's Beloit, WI. I'm guessing you've never had a reason to go there. A billionaire philanthropist has supposedly begun to inject money into the city and lure businesses so maybe that will change. I believe, based on what our friend said, this person is owner or at least the funding behind most of the restaurants in that two-bock area downtown. I thought the $3 was a little expensive.

Well, I'll defend Chicago against any big city, but the statement was that the worst in WI is still better than the worst in Chicago or SF. I'm fairly certain I haven't even seen the worst of either, and I'd have to agree with the statement.

Definitely. I believe I read once that we have the 2nd largest Hispanic population in the US (after LA IIRC), which I'd guess is mainly Mexican. That translates to good tacos, and good Mexican food in general.
