I never remember the name. Cuervo Lobos maybe? It's the mexican place in the Avent Ferry Shopping Center by Subway. The bar in the back is pretty straight.

I'm contemplating going over there for the taco eating contest, but I don't think I can beat the current leader.

It's Cueva de Lobos, by the way. Basically Wolf's Cave in Mexican.

As I understand it you can come in any time after 5 on tuesdays for 99 cent tacos and to qualify for the contest. I'm not sure how many qualifier rounds are left before the main event.

Only soft tacos in the contest. They think that people rapidly wolfing down crunchy food might be a liability.

I mean I could go to Taco Bell, but I expect more out of CdL.

You can get hard tacos for a dollar, too, I think, you just can't use them for the contest.

There fixed it. The sopes and gorditas are disgusting. Tastes like dry ass cornbread for the "corn shell" they advertise. I mean, I'm not saying that's not "authentic" but I've been to several places like that and I've never, NEVER had anything as nasty as that.

I didn't think the sopes were any worse than they are anywhere else, but I haven't tried the gorditas. For the most part it seems like standard Mexican food for this area.

well, for $1 tacos, you can't expect them to be gourmet quality, served in a platinum taco holder by juan fucking valdez.

quality for price considered I think they are very good. I have never been to a mexican restaurant though that was really head and shoulders above the rest. Same with Oriental. P.F. Changs is good but not that much better than every other generic place.

Dos Taquitos is head and shoulders above the rest. That said, Cueva is great. It's a really chill place with good staff and the owners are cool as hell. The food is good and the alcohol is cheap...it's becoming my watering hole.

I'll probably be there tonight around 8 for food and trivia

just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many tacos the winners average at those contests? if you don't win, do you pay for what you ate? if you do win, do you pay for what you ate? I feel I could pack down a ton if I ever entered an eating contest, especially tacos, when I was 300lbs, I'd do a 10 taco meal from Taco Bell within 30min, also used to eat whole Damnits

I'm now under 200lbs but can still pack down a ton, the other day I did the whole dominos 5-5-5 deal in an hour....my PR

there is one more tuesday before the actual contest, which is on the 25th iirc, where they pit the 6 with the highest numbers from the qualifying rounds. i forgot to look when i stopped by last night but i think the highest was 18

unlimited time? I'd love to strategically align my "cheat meals" with a contest like this, I'd have a blast

I went from 185lbs on a friday, binged all weekend, was 206lbs on monday

gotta love bloating, it's amazing how much you can lose when you're virtually sodium free for 3 weeks then eat hordes of enchiladas & fajitas with your friends

Yeah, according to the poster they have on the wall, the top two are tied with 17. 2 with 16 and 2 with 14.

Last night I was there for a "practice run" and saw the new leader eat 19. It was spectacular to behold.

The qualifying round gives you 30 minutes, and you can order hard or soft tacos. The big event will only be 15 minutes, and only soft tacos will be permitted. If you're in the final event, I suspect you don't pay. If you win, you get $100.

For the qualifying rounds, I think you have to pay for as many as it takes to qualify (which is now 17, I believe). Otherwise, people would claim that they were going out for the contest, then just eat a bunch of free tacos. Once you qualify, though, I think everything after that is free.

I ate five in about six minutes and felt fine, and that was washing them down with margaritas. Still, though, 19 is a lot of fucking tacos.

[Edited on May 26, 2009 at 4:49 PM. Reason : dos taquitos is mentioned i see, but that's a different (and more expensive) thing entirely]
