That Taco Tico has been a favorite of mine since I was about 10 years old. I used to bike my way over there when I wanted a special treat. Those of you dissing it really don't know what you're talking about, especially in the good ole days, before the nutrition labeling started changing all fast food.

It has historically been much better than other Mexican FF places including Taco Bell and Baton Rouge's own Pedro's.

In more recent years, it has been less consistent, but still very good. We've known this location was closing for a couple of months now and the quality has suffered much more since then. On the other hand, the Kenner location just keeps cruising along, good as ever. Sorry to see TT go, for sure.

where are the preservationists to preserve this late 1960s suburban-mexican-american architecture?

i really liked those puffy tacos they had. really good and dam just a lot of good options there. im not sure why people dont care or put tt down. 46 years of tacos is a lot of tacos and history. lot of metairie got their first taste of mexican food there. 46 years is a lot older than most restaurants are going to make it. tt was an exception

The hipster transplants here just don't understand that. They come down from their armpit villages move into the 504 and think they are some type of food experts. Is it the best tacos ever ? No but it's the best 39 & 59 cent tacos ever. 4 generations of tigerwises have enjoyed TT. The same can be said about Buds.
