As a native Texan, suffice it to say that I have opinions about tacos. I suppose it's the case that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs as to what constitutes a "good" taco, but given my upbringing and my general stubbornness, I'm inclined to believe that when it comes to ranking tacos, there is, in fact, one correct answer. And that answer is that gas station tacos in small towns all across the great state of Texas are the best tacos in the continental United States.

Alas, be that as it may, it probably isn't feasible for you (or me) to frequent said gas stations across the Great State. But luckily, there are a number of alternatives put forth by your friendly neighborhood fast-food chains that will, in fact, get the job done when you're craving nothing more than a soft shell filled with carnitas.

To determine where to get the best fast-food tacos, INSIDER went to five fast-food restaurants as part of an ongoing taste-test series. To keep things consistent, we sampled the standard chicken taco at all six locations.

Here's what we sampled:

Chipotle

Moe's

Taco Bell

Qdoba

Freebirds
