They have boots with 12" long pointy toes. I explained to my friend that they wear long pointy toe boots so that when they are travelling in the desert and have to squat to take a crap they can hold on to their toes for balance and leverage.

LMAO, n00bs. It's not really authentic unless they have carrots next to the salsa. That's about as authentic as it gets, fellas.

I don't like the direction this thread has turned. Not one bit. This is a celebration my friends, and it has been spoilt.

There is but one solution.... MAS TACOS de La Hacienda!

Just got home from La Hacienda with EMAWmeister. It was very good. I saw DLew there as well.

I will probably go again.

I'll definitely go again.

Have we talked about the beans in this thread? If so, too bad. The beans were very good. MBP got a quesadilla with chicken for under three dollars. This thing was stout, too. HOWEVER! The tortillas weren't really my cup of tea. Kind of rubbery? Is that a way to describe tortillas? Anyhow, overwhelmed by all of it.

And I'll reecho what others have said, the "store" part is a real trip. Need some boots? Sure, they're right over there next to the terrifying mannequins and our shelfs of religious icons that are also for sale.

That's how the tortillas I had in Mexico were. Pretty sure that means it's very authentic.

You're severely underrating El Tapatillo. Not willing to say it's better than La Hacienda, but it's pretty good.

Here's the deal, 2 years ago, MHK had 0 good mexican joints. But now, we have three. La Hacienda, El Tapatillo, and Lucha. How lucky we've become.

I haven't been out there yet, will need to try. Honestly, Lucha's tacos are okay but nothing amazing imo

Fact about Dlew:

Never had a Lucha Taco. I stick to Breets and Mushroom Dillas.

BUT BACK TO LA HACIENDA!

Do you guys tip? I didn't, initially, because it's an order-at-the-counter kind of thing. There was a spot on the receipt to tip, but I was like, "Uh, nope."

But i enjoyed myself so damn much I left a few singles on the table.

Yeah, that was a ridiculous comparo. They're not the same. La Hacienda isn't in the same ball park, hell, it's not even the same sport.

I'm not disagreeing.

They're inherently different, but they're both v. good.

so it's come to this... the known loser pissclams, whose whole life revolves around an event where he eats chipotle every day for seven days in a row, is making fun of a mexican restaurant. just when you think you've seen it all.
