text: I will be honest I am hard on Tex Mex restaurants in the Burgh I want so much to believe that I will find a place that does good tacos and I am disappointed over and over again Here is the thing about tacos that no one in this city seems to understand the tortillas are the part of the taco that touches the tongue first and will be the source of much of the mouthfeel that you experience while chewing Yeah I am a bit upset with myself for using the word mouthfeel but I wanted to use something besides chewiness and my thesaurus is out of reachnnI lived in San Antonio for years before moving to Pittsburgh and in most of Mexico and Texas a taco is expected to be a soft tortilla can be flour or corn that is freshly made in house A fresh tortilla makes a world of difference to the enjoyment of the taco Some of my favourite tacos in the world are just plain tacos that are with some plain toppings a good verde salsa in a warm fresh tortilla I say all this because I think that Verde puts too much emphasis on the ingredients Which are still underspiced and boring with some store bought hot sauces on the table giving all the flavor and then put those toppings into a boring store bought tasting tortilla So there you are spending for a taco that is substantially underwhelming
