South Philly Barbacoa, Philadelphia
You’re in for a real treat when you come to this restaurant. The meat on this taco is made with lamb that’s been slowly steamed. It’s then been placed onto a handmade tortilla. The lamb is very tender and just melts in your mouth.
Tacos Cala, San Francisco
This taqueria is standing room only around lunch time. This is mainly because of the Pork Chile Verde Taco. It’s made with braised pork and the juice from it falls freely off of the taco. Better grab a napkin!

Many of the new world selections are quite interesting such as the Thai snapper taco that’s topped with a coconut green curry.
