The taco's origins are believed to predate the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico. Evidence suggests that the indigenous people of Mexico used corn tortillas to wrap fillings like fish and offal. This practice evolved over centuries, incorporating new ingredients and techniques brought by the Spanish and other cultures.

Beyond just food
Tacos transcend mere sustenance; they represent a cultural identity, fostering community and shared experiences. Sharing tacos can be a bonding experience, a casual way to connect with friends, family, and even strangers.
Dos Hermanos Tacos offers a diverse range of authentic Mexican flavors, from savory and spicy meats to fresh and vibrant salsas and toppings. The interplay of textures and temperatures is also key to the experience.
The core flavors revolve around the chosen filling. Common options include: Carne Asada (grilled steak, often marinated with citrus and spices), Al Pastor (marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit, with pineapple), Carnitas (slow-cooked pork, tender and rich), Chicken (often seasoned with chili powders and spices), and Vegetarian options (such as grilled vegetables or refried beans). These are complimented by toppings like: Cilantro, Onion, Salsas (ranging from mild to very spicy, made with ingredients like tomatoes, chiles, onions, and cilantro), Lime, and sometimes Guacamole or sour cream. The corn tortilla provides a subtle earthy base, while the toppings add layers of freshness, heat, and acidity.
Lime is Essential
A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity that complements the other ingredients.
Salsa Selection
Experiment with different salsas to find your preferred level of heat and flavor. Start with a mild salsa and gradually work your way up to spicier options.
The Tortilla Matters
Opt for freshly made corn tortillas if possible, as they have a superior flavor and texture compared to store-bought varieties. Warm them lightly on a griddle or comal before filling.
