Everyone speaks taco. We all know folks who aren’t into or actively dislike certain types of food, but I’ve never met anyone who totally hates tacos.

There’s a lot to love about this quintessential Mexican/Tex-Mex dish.

So many big flavors, whether in traditional-style tacos or creative newfangled versions. Tacos are (usually) affordable too, so they’re a laidback, low-pressure and easily festive dining experience. Plus, their intuitive, handheld design makes tacos the culinary equivalent of portable gaming consoles.

With that, here’s AL.com’s list of the top five taco places in Huntsville. For this list, we’re focusing only on local businesses with a Huntsville address. No regional or national chains.

After reading our top five, go get a taco from your own favorite local joint. Where you spend your money carries much more weight than any listicle or social media comment.
