I’ve spent the past month trying to be as unbiased as possible. This poll, however, has me at a complete loss. The four tacos in the final matchup for the specialty bracket are seriously some of my favorites around town. While I will always love a traditional pastor taco more than any other, the tacos listed below are by far some of the best in the specialty bracket. In one matchup we have the SoCo vs the brisket taco – sausage vs brisket, complex vs deceptively simple – both amazingly tasty in completely different ways.
The second matchup is brisket vs it’s south of the border cousin carnitas. Two Dallas favorites, Desperados and Victor Tango’s battle it out for specialty taco supremacy. Both bring an extra bit of upscale flare to the street style taco – only one will continue on to the next round.
I’ve been able to predict most of the matchups so far with accurate results, but this round has me stumped. . .no matter how it turns out, I’ll be surprised.
This round will end Thursday at 12:01 am and then only one round of voting will separate us from specialty taco supremacy. Tell your friends and let the tasty tasty voting begin!

You will notice that the taco spots now have ranks. This is how the match-ups will be determined from now until only one taco spot remains. I’ve received a lot of suggestions on voting for the next round (will it be NE/SE/NW/SW or just East v. West or North v South) and for now it’s still up in the air. I think I would rather see the big hitters in each bracket go head to head first (ex. Fuel City v Mia’s) – We shall see!
