WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31: SPICY 16 >>>
You must admit: in a town full of dining options, you lust after your taco as a teenage girl pines for Orlando Bloom. Tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro and sometimes cheese - the things of dreams. Burger King might try to tempt you with A.1.® Steakhouse XTTM Burger and Funnel Cake Sticks but its delicious titling fails: Taco, it is your heart that it has taken.
Here are the last eight taco joints in the Spicy 16. Vote now.
Game 1: El Rinconsito (72nd Street and Pacific Avenue, Tacoma) vs. Hidalgo Mexican Restaurant (806 72nd St. E., Tacoma)
El Rinconsito's spicy meats are a real contender for the crown. Bolstered by their new location and loyal following, they could prove a tough match-up for their 72nd Street competition. Hidalgo, however, has shown a lot of fight defeating the likes of Bonita Restaurant and El Tenampa.
Game 2: Moctezuma's Mexican Restaurant (4102 S. 56th St., Tacoma) vs. Tacos Guaymas (10105 S. Tacoma Way, Lakewood)
Tacos Guaymas has had an easy time dispatching the competition up to this point. But this battle for a birth to the Elote Eight may prove more of a challenge. Moctezuma's has the history and easy defeats (Puerto Vallarta and Azteca) in the first two rounds.
Game 3: La Huerta International Market #2 (5605 Pacific Avenue South) vs. Taqueria Burrito Loco (5502 Orchard Street West, University Place)
La Huerta #2 is making a strong run at the Elote Eight as most predicted. However, they must first get by University Place's hidden taco gem Burrito Loco.
Game 4: Tijuana Taco (10005 Bristol Ave. SW, Lakewood) vs. Powerhouse Restaurant and Brewery (454 E. Main, Puyallup)
Rumor has it Tijuana Taco owner Rocky has the crew up early, drinking glasses of raw eggs and working hard (we're not letting this story line die) on their tacos for this match-up against the surprising contender Powerhouse Restaurant. The Puyallup Brewery is riding high coming off a big win over Engine House No. 9.
