  I understand praising crunchy tacos, but you lost me when you started crapping on authentic street tacos.
  The brilliance of a "street taco" is simplicity, but because of that you need good ingredients. However, a street taco with outstanding meet, a decent corn tortilla and simple toppings is significantly better than a solid crunchy taco.
  
  Also PS, hipster "artisan" tacos with a bunch of random crap thrown in don't count as tacos. Good they may be, they're an affront to culture, especially at their ridiculously high prices.

  If you're getting street tacos at a hip restaurant, the kind of place that might be named after a color, like Rojo or Azul...
  Or at a bar with six different IPAs on tap, and a name like The Hunting Lodge...
  Or at some awful suburban faux-Mexican chain with a name like Senor Margarita...
  Or pretty much if you're getting them anywhere that's not a taco truck, or a place that started as a taco truck and moved indoors, or a taqueria attached to, or next door to, a Mexican market and butcher shop, then I understand why you hold them in such low regard.
  Because imagine basing one's impressions of Italian food on the slop served at Olive Garden. Or the caesar salad and minestrone at the Double Bogey Taphouse & Grille, whose five star reviews from regulars mention the golf cart parking and weekday lunch specials, and how sometimes they waive the corking fee if you know the owner.
  Or assuming that the cheap taco bar the Country Club laid out for Bill's retirement party, incongruously offered alongside a dazzling selection of tequila and mezcal in a vivid demonstration of what everyone's priorities are at this shindig, is representative of the crispy shell taco experience.
  There's room for both kinds of tacos.
  And no shame in admitting that what one likes best about the family-style, make your own taco, crispy shell kind of experience we all had growing up is actually the mix of sour cream and tomatoes they're topped with. Just thinking about it, right now, makes me want to have a crispy taco night again. >
  
  Tacos don't use flour tortillas, nor are they served with cheese, lettuce or tomatoes. I think the street tacos you're having are a bit whack.
