This taco brought the West Coast to the table without needing a surfboard. The hard shell had a light, airy crunch with a clean snap—enough to let you know it meant business, yet sturdy enough to carry its cargo. The ground beef was classic SoCal: perfectly spiced with that laid-back, sun-kissed balance. Cool, crisp lettuce and tomatoes tucked inside, with a snowfall of finely shredded sharp cheese tying it all together. The guacamole came smooth and silky, with a slow-building warmth not to be underestimated. The salsa verde hit citrus-forward, cutting clean through the richness like a lime squeezed over hot pavement. And the red salsa? Fresh, green-leaning, and unapologetically herbaceous—cilantro in high tide. A West flavor drift with every bite.
