According to some misguided folks at Delish.com, the best tacos in America include cheddar cheese, lame salsas and iceberg lettuce.

Yes, we’re talking about Torchy’s Tacos, the Austin hangout that throws all kinds of, um, stuff into tasteless tortillas and calls them tacos.

Now, Torchy’s is serving a new Thai-inspired taco called the Tuk Tuk. It may actually be tasty, but it sure looks like it’s trying too hard to copy the inspired and incredibly delicious approach of Kogi taco of Los Angeles, which combines Korean barbecue and kimchi on a corn tortilla.

Torchy’s green chile queso, however, is tasty.

The Delish.com list includes two places from Houston, two from Dallas and three from Austin – but only three from Los Angeles and three from Chicago and none from San Antonio or South Texas.
