Better than Taco Bell
By EatingWell Magazine, on Mon Aug 11, 2008 7:21am PDTThe secret to crispy, healthy tacos.
The EatingWell Taco
Carolyn Casner, one of our recipe testers here in the EatingWell Test Kitchen, grew up on the border in El Paso, Texas, so she knows Mexican food. According to her, “the world’s best tacos come from Julio’s Café Corona, where my family and I always went after church. They’re greasy, messy and delicious.”
When Carolyn visits Texas, she always heads straight from the airport to Julio’s. But when she’s at home in Vermont, Carolyn, husband Jeb Wallace-Brodeur, a photojournalist, and son Aidan, 9, have their own easy homemade taco night on a regular basis.

Endangered Street Vendors: Help Save Los Angeles's Taco Trucks!
By bon appétit Magazine, on Fri May 2, 2008 10:13am PDTI love street tacos. Lucky for me, living in Los Angeles means living among the bounty of taco trucks scattered throughout the city. They've rescued me during those treacherous nights in college when I'd be cramming for tests and writhing from hunger pains. Even now, I'll have my carne asada taco from Tacos Don Jorge in Culver City when the opportunity arises.
A few weeks ago, Los Angeles County supervisors passed a new law restricting taco truck vendors from selling their goods in any one location for more than an hour. Breaking the law means a $1,000 fine and/or six months in jail. Read More »
