    World's Best Chicken Tacos

    January 10, 2018 By Patrick 11 Comments

    I know, World's Best is a big claim, but these chicken tacos are the ones I always come back to. The home cooked salsa is the key so don't skimp on that step. So good! mexicanplease.com

    These Chicken Tacos are not afraid to put themselves in the running for top taco. Of course, it's worth noting who is making that claim.  In this case, it's someone (uhmmm...me) who has eaten various incarnations of these chicken tacos at least a couple hundred times over the past few years.
