The official Mr. Taco Shop scale

How many bottles does it bring?

1 = Skip it · 5 = Life-changing
Stars are for hotels. Michelin is for people who eat foam. Around here, greatness is measured in hot sauce bottles — and tortilla, filling, salsa, value, and post-burrito happiness all count.

5 Transcendent. We wept into the foil.4 Excellent. Worth crossing town for.3 Solid. A dependable neighborhood spot.2 Meh. Hunger would help.1 We ate it so you don’t have to.

Meet your highly unscientific taco authority

A balanced diet is a taco in each hand.

I’m Mr. Taco Shop: breakfast-burrito obsessive, salsa-bar investigator, and firm believer that the best food usually comes wrapped in foil. I visit neighborhood spots, order the classics, and rate every bite with the only scale that matters.
