Are Taco's the New Pizza?

Sons and daughters of Rome...while I do not foresee Taco's replacing Pizza anytime soon (so take a chill pill or glass of pinot grigio) as America's favorite food and fast easy snack, Taco's are quickly becoming a strong alternative at least in NYC. Taco joints in NYC are slowly but surely starting to pop up all over (especially downtown). The key to their success is that they are very good and very "cost-effective. They also offer more of a protein to carb ratio then pizza for the same price or less. A plain slice of pizza is averaging $2.50+ now, while a taco with a choice of proteins(chicken,the other white meat, beef, fish,) is only $3-4 bucks...do the math. Pinche Taqueria has great taco's that are basic and of good quality and La Esquina opened a taqueria with loads of variations in the same price range. Pizza will always be one of my all time favorites...and many higher quality pizza places have been opening up lately...but a $20 + pizza even with good quality ingredients is going to get some serious competition from $3.50 taco's with pulled pork, habernero onions and Jalapenos in this savvy gastronomic city...with oh soooo many new options...especially in this brave new world economy of ours...
