ABOUT TSA
Taco States of America is the new official guide for taco discovery. Whether you're at home or on the road, we'll help you find a delicious taco when you need one.
To find the best tacos, we with a roster of shops that meet our standards of local, independence, and quality. We then have a little leaderboard fun driven by your ratings and head-to-head matchups during our annual Taco Tourney.
HOW THE RANKINGS WORK
Participating shops earn points through ratings and tournament wins. Points don't last forever, so the leaderboard stays fresh like a delicious taco.
Five-star ratings give the most points. Best taco you've ever had? Even more points. Rate a shop using one of our QR codes? Even more points. Share reviews and photos to help your favorite shops move up the leaderboard.
Star ratings are fine, but sometimes we need a good head-to-head matchup. Every year in every state we invite the top shops to participate in a glorious Taco Tourney. Your votes decide who advances each and wins a big pile of points.
