A Hamburger Today
Houston Taco and Burger Mashup

Googling "taco burger" mostly results in recipes for taco-flavored burgers. That's not nearly as cool as J. C. Reid's taco burger at Eating Our Words consisting of a burger topped with taco filling, thus combining two of Houston's most beloved foodstuffs. Reid grabbed some beef tongue tacos from a taco truck, brought them to Hubcap Grill, and joined the two in harmony:
This taco burger was amazing. The coarse texture of the beef patty worked great with the finer texture of the tongue. The spicy cilantro and onions were the perfect toppings for the burger. The hot sauces added an incredible kick to the whole assemblage. A true culinary fusion.
Yea or nay? I'd eat it.
