Do you know anyone who doesn’t like tacos? Our bottomless appetite for them shatters all barriers of income, tradition, and innovation. So after months of tasting those that reverently play by the rules and others that gleefully break them, we offer this diverse lineup of marvels. Each is either a model of its type—say, taco al pastor—or stretches our notions in a provocative way. The ranking is capricious, as some fabulous tacos fell off our list for reasons of inconsistency. Our basic guideline: If we could only have one right now, which would it be? Any one of these, day or night.
