Tacos: soft or hard shell?

[ucla695]

Mexican food is one of my favorite food groups. Ok I know it's not a food group, but it might as well be because I eat a LOT of it. I love everything about it.....refried beans, carnitas, carne asada, rice, salsa, etc...I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it. One of my favorite Mexican food treats is the taco. I enjoy them in all forms (soft, hard shell, make your own, deconstructed, on pizza ), but I definitely eat more soft tacos than I do hard. One of my favorite places in L.A. has some killer salsa roja, the type that will make you sweat a little and raise your pulse a bit, and they only sell soft tacos. To me, tacos are only as good as the meat, shell/tortilla AND salsa. If any of the aforementioned ingredients are lacking, the taco's a bust. Anyway, just wondering where everyone stands on this important issue.

BTW, I prefer corn tortillas
