Since I’m being downvoted I’ll be a little clearer: tacos, along with all other cuisines, can be “elevated.” No one is actually charging 20/taco. Just because it’s not French or Italian or Spanish doesn’t mean it’s a cuisine that can’t be elevated. And wow lamb and caviar? Believe it or not there are “authentic” Mexicans in “authentic” Mexico selling and eating “authentic” tacos that are are made with “authentic” lamb.

Did you find the steel markers in the ground when they surveyed? When we built a fence, I used a metal detector to find them post having a surveyor mark them in the plat. I wanted to be really sure I wasn’t building a fence on my neighbors land.

The taco truck that’s been at the Lowe’s on Broad, Taqueria Morelos, is my new favorite taco. They make tortillas to order (!!!), they have desebrada/tinga/crispy carnitas, a serious arbol salsa… pretty great taco experiences.

Co-sign on La Cabana.

The La Milpa truck (but not the actual spot) is also great.

Tio Pablo when/if it reopens if really good and more central to the city folks like myself.

Also - not tacos - but holy shit Torchy’s queso is AMAZING. Tacos are OK.

Am surveyor. Deal with fences over lines all the time. My assumption? It was either built while he was at work, so he just came home one day to it being there, or it's possible he had not ever actually had a survey before, so he had no proof where the line was and didn't want to start a spat over what would've been just his gut feeling.

Thus, he hired a surveyor after the fact who discovered the fence was over the property line and that his gut feeling was right all along. It's worth noting that most people aren't hostile, even when confronted with the fact that they built a fence wrong. But the ones who are unfriendly about it obviously are because they're generally unhinged anyway.

My response when a rare neighbor does disagree with my line markings is just "hire your own surveyor, but they're gonna find the exact same thing I did."

Turns out, they never want to pay $500-$800+ for their own survey, which is why their false interpretations about the lines exist in the first place.
