Crazy Florida Taco Crimes

Here at Taco Jesus Hot Sauce we love being based in the Sunshine State, but the laid back lifestyle draws some folks to the state who … lets just say aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.  These are tales of those people, taco related tales.

Baseball & Taco Jesus = America

There are very few things we love as much spicy food, tacos and America, and there are very few things as American as the great game of baseball.  This weekend Memorial day weekend we get the awesome opportunity to cheer on our alma mater the University of Houston Cougars as they play in the American Athletic Conference Championship Game for the fourth consecutive year.

 

Come join us at Spectrum Field in beautiful Clearwater, FL or check out the game on ESPN news at noon eastern time.

Naked Chicken Chalupa

Taco Jesus & Taco Bell's Naked Chicken ChalupaWhile we don’t normally frequent Taco Bell for our taco fixes, there are certain times when even Taco Jesus is compelled to make a run for the border.  This past Sunday was one of those times.

We had plans to go out for breakfast, but then we saw a commercial advertising Taco Bell’s new Naked Chicken Chalupa which basically looks like a taco with a “shell” made out of fried chicken.  We’ve been intrigued by this new item since we first saw the ads so we decided to take a road trip to our neighborhood Taco Bell and give this bad boy a try.

We were not disappointed.  The chicken “shell” was wrapped around the toppings of lettuce, tomato, and some sort of very tasty avocado ranch sauce, and this delight earns two thumbs up from Taco Jesus himself.  Think outside the bun and get your fanny over to Taco Bell to pick up one of these taste delights, and tell them Taco Jesus sent you.

No Cold Tacos!

Look, we get it.  Nobody likes a cold taco, but there is such a thing as taking it too far.  In this news report out of Houston, TX (the boyhood home of the founders of Taco Jesus Hot Sauce) we find out that some Houstonians take their taco really seriously, maybe a bit too seriously.

Houston taught us our love of tacos, and all things hot and spicy, but one thing we can promise is that we won’t shoot you if we get a cold taco.  Provided of course some lame taco truck server doesn’t make us angry at 2:00 in the morning.
