I don't know about you but there is only one red line for me: a taco should be soft.
As long as the corn tortillas are soft, the type of the taco doesn't matter to me.
When it comes to tacos, there are a plethora of combinations and twists inspired by ingredients from all over the world. Despite the large range of tacos available today, there are a number of traditional tacos that you should try. From pork tacos like carnitas and al pastor to fish tacos and even vegetarian tacos, these Mexican tacos are full of flavor and tradition.
Tacos are one of Mexico's most common street foods, despite the fact that their exact origin is unknown.
However, nowadays, wherever we turn our head, there is a taco place. And, for a taco lover like me, it is very important to find a place that makes a great taco.
For all of these reasons, this wasn’t an easy list to make for me. However, here are the three best taco places in Fresno, based on taco lovers' recommendations.

Celia and Benito Arenas moved from Los Angeles to Fresno with their five children Abelardo, Analia, Adolfo, Adriana, and Alejandra in 1984. They opened the first La Elegante food truck soon after arriving. They set up primarily near the Pick-A-Part on Muscat avenue. Fast forward to almost 10 years to 1993 and due to the popularity of the food truck, they decided to open the first brick and mortar restaurant right in the heart of Chinatown. This was when the children took the lead and began running the restaurant. Since those first days in 1985, to today, we continue to strive for nothing short of elegance. We pride ourselves in using fresh, local products to ensure you always get the best tasting Mexican food in Fresno!
