My wife and I were living in the heart of Hispanic community near Ft. Collins, Colorado. One day we just had to have taco bell. The value meal that's $13 in the midwest was around $22. We abandoned the plan. The taqueria makes better gringo tacos for $2ea be it in Colorado or the midwest.
I didn't really have a point. I guess it's to explore your local taqueria. If the only proficient english language speakers are high school age or younger then you've found a solid joint.
Northern Co has SO many good taquerias. Hope that truck on N College is still open, get an Al Pastor.
If ingredients and calm, clean ambiance are the goals then Ft. Collins is the way. If cultural immersion and flavor are the highest priority then go where the Hispanics live: east of 35th Ave between 34 and BUS34, Greeley to Garden City.
If timed well feeling understood can be better than love. Doritos locos (prison); spicy fruit with tamarind (childhood innocence).
