America loves its tacos. We celebrate them on Cinco de Mayo, Mexican Independence Day, Tuesdays and once a year on National Taco Day. Find the fiesta at some of the most famous Mexican restaurants north of the border, from Los Angeles' historic El Coyote Cafe to San Antonio's iconic Casa Rio. Start with breakfast at Juan in a Million in Austin, Texas, or elevate dinner at Cosme in New York City.

Browse the photos above for America's authentic taco destinations — margarita pairing optional.
