Mighty Taco: The Taco

Several decades ago, boutique Mexican restaurants received new competition from the fast food movement. Giants like Taco Bell spread across the country providing mass produced Mexican style fast food.

In that blaze of fast food came a local hero in Buffalo New York: Mighty Taco! Their commercials chanting "Mighty Taco" was a call to a new generation who understood they had something unique and special.

Their taco was different from the popular Taco Bell. TW meat filling was spicier. And instead of sprinkling shredded cheese on top of the taco, they placed a slice of cheese between the shell and the meat. That simple change in placement of the cheese causes the taco to have a creamy cheese taste.

The taco picture is shown with a crunchy shell and no lettuce, tomato or sour cream, options that cost a bit more but are well worth it.

Mighty Taco is the best fast food Taco I have ever had. I rate it a 5 out of 5, which means I would go out of my way to order a taco at Might Taco.
