I have grown exceedingly fond of Mexican food reasonably recently (not to be mistaken for South American foods i.e. Chile, Argentine, which I absolutely love and always have). Growing up I used to hate Mexican food. the runny cheesy beans, the dry rice and the greasy dishes of ground meat or slimy fajitas. (they contain green bell peppers one of two veggies in this world I have no love for). With the emergence of more authentic Mexican eateries over the past few years I've discovered that my prejudice of Mexican food came from growing up in a small town in AK that had no good options till a handful of years ago and apparently there is a huge difference between crappy Mexican and delicious Mexican.
Currently my favorite Mexican food comes from stands, actually in general I love stand food.. Some of the best food I've ever eaten has come from random stands on the roadside or at a fair. However, today's review is not of a stand it's of a little family owned sit down eatery called Taco Azteca in Fairbanks, AK. I will admit that I find myself ordering the same thing over and over again.. one carnitas taco one carne asada taco.. I'm sure other things on the menu are good.. but I just love the simple mexican style tacos with onions, cilantro, soft corn tortillas and a squish of lime. So simple and yet so yummy.
i must have all the options
i don't usually get the beans and rice.. there was a mix up with the order.. but the tacos were good
