As much as we would like to say that food trends annoy us, we all buy into the fads. Tacos are no exception. Mexican restaurants have been investing more time into exploring unique, sometimes even strange, taco combinations. Sure, a fish taco is a safe bet for a satisfying meal, but we like to take risks. Some taco shops like to fuse the Mexican street-food staple with other styles of cuisine, while some places straight up remove the Mexico in taco, effectively making it as Gringo as a grilled cheese.
Turn your taco into an event with these unlikely combinations of stuffed tortillas. Larvae, anyone?
