Best Tacos In NYC, Chicago, L.A., Miami And SF 2014

How we'd like to spend our summer vacation? On a taco crawl across the country, of course.

And we know the spots to hit. From fatty chorizo to Ensenada-style crispy fish piled onto corn and flour tortillas galore, these tacos—the best from coast to coast—are worth the trip.

Start in NYC, where you can sink your teeth into pig's face taco. Then, hit up Chicago for a mash-up of spit-roasted pork and thick, pita-like tortillas.

Head west to SF for lard-poached carnitas (yes, lard-poached). Let the abuelas take care of you in L.A. And finish your taco tour in Miami for tiny taco gems dishing lamb barbacoa and hard-to-find taco suadero.

Better request those vacation days...
