Tacos are a better food than pizza for many reasons, and I will be here to talk about the facts about tacos, why they are better, and how pizza can’t possibly beat tacos.

This is a picture of one of the many types of tacos.

First off, it is the 2nd most popular cuisine, behind Chinese food. Italian food isn’t even in the top 5. So in conclusion Mexican restaurants and food are more popular than Italian restaurants and food.

Mexican food has some of the greatest and more popular foods like tacos, nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, and more. Mexican food is the most popular ethnic food type in the USA. A 6th grader, Brian Rogers says, “I love fajitas, and I like the order I get to put the ingredients in.”

Now for the cost and value of them. The average cost of a whole pizza ranges from $7.25 to $15, and the average calories per slice is 260. The average price for 1 taco is $0.50 to $2.50, and the average calories per taco is 170. So it is about $7 to $15 to have 2,080 total calories in a pizza, but you might only eat 2-4 slices depending on the slice, so you would get 520 to 1040 calories. With tacos, you would pay $0.50 to $2.50 for 1 taco, giving you 170 calories, $1 to $5 for 2, giving you 340 calories, and $1.50 to $7.50 for three, giving you 510 calories. Street tacos are very affordable. Therefore, tacos have a better price per calories, since more calories are bad for you, and if you pay $7 for 3 tacos you would get 510 calories. then if you pay $7 for 7 slices of pizza, you would be consuming around 1,820 calories, which is WAY too much.

Then there is the taste and ingredients aspect of it. First, the shell. There are 2 options, the soft shell, a tortilla, and a hard shell, which is like a tortilla chip. I prefer the soft shell, but they are both super delicious. You can have different toppings in your taco, and the most popular meats are ground beef and chicken, and I like to have ground beef.

This is the restaurant, Del Taco, a delicous

Anderson Shertzer, a 6th grader says, “I love tacos because of the variety of all the different meats.” If you pick the right taco seasoning, it can be perfectly delicious. The juiciness of the meat is like heaven, and me personally, a little bit of spice is good. Then the cheese. When it melts into the taco when you are around halfway through the taco, it is beautiful. Also, if you like sour cream, it adds a nice cold, tasty touch to the taco.

In my opinion, tacos are a better food because of price, taste, and it’s healthier. Tacos are better than pizza.
