Mariana’s Tacos - Frisco - 8.5/10

Mariana’s Tacos is decent.  I got the Chorizo, Pastor and Barbicoa.  All were tasty and a good size.  It didn’t quite match what I had at Del Sur, but so far it’s second best in North Texas for me; although there are so many more places to try before I can say that. I will dine here again as I forgot to take photos of the food.

Bahn Mi Sandwich - Pho Pasteur II

The pho is excellent at Pho Pasteur II in Carrollton on Belt Line Rd.  I was curious and was pleased that I tried the Bahn Mi sandwich.  One of the best I’ve had. Update - March 2024 - Bahn Mi is still awesome.  Prices seemed to have gone up though to $6.50, but still good.

Mr Tako - McKinney - Tacos (7 of 10)

Pricing is decent and they are a bit on the dry side in texture, but overall a decent taco from Mr Tako in McKinney.  Giving it a 7 of 10. You’d need double the street tacos to match the size of a loaded taco.  Both had their merits and if you’re hungry buy loaded, if you want flavor go with street.
