Denver: Does Every Other Restaurant Have To Be Fancy Tacos?
Denver: you have a lot of great restaurants. I love it. However, I have to ask…does every other place have to be fancy tacos?
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. I love tacos, and I even like the chef-inspired take on traditional tacos. Also known as fancy tacos. Gourmet sauces and meats like octopus or sheep neck instead of just ground beef, chicken, or pork. They only cost something like $7-9 usually, but you usually need to order 4 or more for a meal. That starts adding up.
Expensive. Fancy.
Think of places like Pinche Taqueria, Los Chingones, and T/ACO. See? Without even having to consider much, I can come up with three right off the bat. That’s because it seems like every other restaurant that opens in Denver right now is fancy tacos.
Why?
I can understand the fancy taco is big right now, Denver…but other things are good too. We need variety. Once we get a certain number of fancy taco choices that are all good, we don’t really need any more.
We’re good on fancy tacos for now. Let’s open something else.

Probably true.
Well, then, if you (kind of) agree, we've just proven this as scientific fact.That is how science works, right?

Probably needs to be peer reviewed or something.

Me: Aren't tacos the ultimate muchies food? After Doritos, I mean? Taco Bell makes use of both, actually. But what do well-off kids eat to show that their munchies are better than everyone else's?
Fancy tacos.
And as long as that is working for them, it won't change. You have to wait for the next trend, the one that closes down the taco shops. Maybe it will be vegetarian German-Thai fusion. Perhaps it will be human flesh. There's no telling. But for now, it's tacos. Fancy, fancy tacos.
This is my theory. It's not scientifically proven in any fashion because I am not a scientist and also, I am way too lazy to research this stuff. But if I had to take a stab at it, that would be my stab.
Stoned rich kids want tacos.
