Run, don't walk, to Tacos Extranjeros! Three blocks from the Ballard TJ's, inside the all-ages Fair Isle Brewery. I had a taco craving and this hit the spot.

The owners are a cute young couple from LA, Bo and Liz, and their pop-up has only been open 2 months. Right now tacos are $3.50 each.

The salsa de habenero was picked as one of the 8 best eats of the year by The Seattle Times, but it was the taco abodaba that stole my heart. You can sit at the counter and watch the chef at work, but we sat under tents outside so I could inhale the scent of that roasting pork.

I've died and gone to taco heaven. Standing in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx eating $3 tacos al pastor from a street vendor with questionable hygiene. Tacos la Cuadra is open 7:30 to midnight and has two locations, one at Northgate and one in Rainier Beach.

Tacos! At La Conasupa in Greenwood. They're $7 apiece, which sounds like extortion, until you see it and realize it's the size of 4 regular tacos. They're known for their lamb, so we had that, plus a tall cup of horchata.
