1. Chacho’s Tacos:
Home of the Almighty Taco, Chacho’s slogan, “best tacos in town” hardly does this little restaurant justice. Along with their Almighty Taco, a 3.5 lb. breakfast monster (stuffed with carne guisada, potato, egg, refried beans, bacon, and cheese), their menu is filled with regular sized combinations to satisfy any palate. The “weenie and egg” taco is highly recommended among the locals, due to its similarities to a childhood favorite in grandma’s kitchen. Chopped up “weenies,” cooked in peppery scrambled eggs, and blanketed in a homemade flour tortilla, the weenie and egg taco makes for delicious nostalgia. 3700 Ayers | Corpus Christi, TX
