This list ranks taco restaurants based on factors like customer reviews and, where available, health inspection scores as of July 24.

5-Star Reviews Across the Board

Aroma Latin American Cocina, located in Henderson, Nevada, has earned the top spot this year thanks to its numerous five-star reviews. The Nevada taco spot features a Pork Belly Taco that, according to their website, requires more than 30 hours of cooking. Other popular items on the Nevada taco spot menu include Carne Asada and Fried Avocado tacos, with a focus on blending various Latin American cuisines from Guatemala to Argentina. An off-menu favorite is the Chicken Tinga Taco, as noted in many Yelp reviews.

The reviews on Yelp support Aroma Latin American Cocina’s claim to be a premier taco restaurant. One customer complimented the restaurant’s taste and presentation, stating, “I was impressed with the food presentation, flavor and quality of service.” Another reviewer mentioned traveling from the East Coast to dine at the restaurant and commented, “Phenomenal service!

6 Go-To Meals for Adults Who Eat Like Children

Ever catch yourself secretly craving those comfort foods from your childhood? Eating habits are a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, reflecting our culture, upbringing, and personal preferences. It’s natural for children to have unique and sometimes unconventional eating habits. But it’s interesting to know that there are adults who proudly embrace eating like children. Gravitating towards what some might call “childish meals.” These people, unapologetically, opt for the comforting and familiar flavors of childhood, turning to dishes that might make a Michelin-star chef raise an eyebrow.

One reason adults may adopt childlike eating habits is the comfort of familiarity. Many of us have fond memories of childhood meals and snacks, and for some, replicating these flavors can provide a sense of nostalgia and security.

This behavior can be especially prevalent at themed parties, where adults gather to relive their childhoods through food and games.

Food preferences are highly subjective. Some adults simply enjoy the taste and texture of these childhood dishes, regardless of any deeper motivations. Personal taste plays a significant role in meal choices.
