Where can one find the best tacos in Karachi?
My dreams were plagued with images of Chipotle and Torchy's Tacos. It was always the same thing in the dream. I enter, order my staple crunchy beef taco and settle down to take a massive bite. I feel my mouth salivate and chomp down onto....nothing but my tear stained pillow.
I sobbed silently to myself as I wondered why my favourite Mexican dish had not made its way to The City Of Lights.
But those are days of the past now. A brave new future has emerged filling Karachi with foodies, travelled gourmands and daring chefs! Our prayers have been answered.
I'm here to present you with not two, not three but four Taco places to fill the Taco Bell shaped void in my heart.
Taco Bout
From this little new joint on Bukhari Commercial, we tried the Chicken Taco, Philly Cheese Steak Taco and Grilled Beef with Glazed Onion Taco and let me just tell you, there's a lot to talk about!
Let's start with their strengths — The home-made cheese was superb, it had a thick gooey consistency with a kick of spice. They should bottle the stuff. Something that tasted like it was out of a bottle though was the guacamole. It had so many different flavours running through it that totally overpowered the essence of guacamole, which is supposed to be avocado! It was watery with too much lime and quite a let down.
