It’s Taco Tuesday! Do you know what that means? It’s time to find the best taco spot or make your favorite Mexican meal. Personally, Taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. From my time living in Texas and trips to Mexico, I have fallen in love with tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and everything in between. But, have you found some great taco spots in Charlotte?

I have been searching for great spots in Charlotte to enjoy a great taco. Then, I found this crazy list and it makes life easier. Love Food is naming the best taco to order in every state. Guess what? Charlotte is home to North Carolina’s best taco spot. Can you guess which restaurant got that title?  The Long Duck Dong at RuRu’s Tacos + Tequila has earned the title of the best taco in North Carolina. The Long Duck Dong is Korean-style sweet and spicy steak, pickled cabbage, sesame seeds, and cilantro, served on a warm flour tortilla. How does that sound? Sounds pretty good to me!

Their Charlotte menu is also serving up some other tasty dishes that sound pretty good to try. They are giving you options such as quesadillas, salads, dips, fajitas, burritos, bowls, tacos, and more. So, if you have some people in your group not looking for a taco then there are other options to try out. Check out the full list here of the best tacos in every state and see what other spots you might want to try.
