I had fun doing this TD. We generally have tacos once a week so entering was easy for me. Great job by everyone, but for me it came down to Geeme and cypresshill. I am a sucker for sweet so I voted for Geeme dessert taco. Lastly, a big shout out to Ryme for making the best of a tough situation. The bonus for me was finally getting a cast iron skillet, have a feeling I will get a lot of use out of it.
For me this is a case where the worst quality pics WIN!
BigB nailed in in many ways... homemade spicy tortillas, perfectly round, look like restaurant quality. Fresh caught fish...
Blackened yellowtail... hell yeah.
Beer battered multiple-fresh fish... good idea!
That lobster tempura in lobster reduction sauce... on that fresh tortilla... all win!!!!!
Do I like beer batter? check
Do I like blackened fish? check
Lobster? check
Fresh tortillas? check!!!!
Excellent complements. Fresh sides. Everything homemade!
The pics are horrible, not sure how the fish catching pics looked so good... differtent camera? Different photographer?
But... damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get my vote.
Shoutout to Rymerpt! Hope you had fun, and great Extended Stay tacos for what you had to work with!

Well, G is excused...but dammmm.
i have to go w/ D3 ...
tctenten - best blackening photo since Scovie's ...
hot stuff - great photos ... really nice, but D3's moved me a bit more ...
bigb & ch73 - the pictures make it hard for me to fully appreciate what looks like a 70's playboy shoot of a very nice set of tacos, both ...

I'm going to wait a little bit to vote, so far i'm gravitating toward tctentens blackened cod tacos. I don't even like fish and those look good to me. I'd risk an allergic reaction to taste test those.
Rymerpt childs video was pretty funny though and I give him credit for making light of a shitty situation.
Hotstuffs plating look pretty tasty, as long as I didn't know it had rabbit in it I would want it.
cypresshills steak taco. MMMM i'm surprised he didn't do a chimichurri though honestly. Isn't that like a staple in Argentina or is that just a gringo misconception?
That also stands for the whole throwdown as well though I don't think anyone made a chimi sauce. Nothing is more refreshing than some chimi on a good steak taco.

The blackened cod, the carnitas, the rabbit, key's tres tacos and the domingo speak to me. Even when I'm not at my computer...

Cypress has great pics. Colorful and clear. Maybe your monitor is wack cuz the only Playboy ones I see are BigB's!
I don't remember and I have been stuck on my cad machine for days ...

Tough choice!
G - yours are the most beautiful by far and so original, but I'm not much of a fruit person so...
Rymerpt - love the video and great effort over adversity
Overall the fresh fish from BigB and especially the papaya salad won my vote. How do you make the papaya stringy like that?
I would be very happy to have any of these in front of me right now.

Why do you think I voted for BigB?
That's some soft corn...

At that time they were real ... Now women are plastic and photoshop
Grant, I didn't even touch that photo's hue or saturation or anything... drag and drop... it just matches lol. You were right. 70s Playboy. 
soft-core > soft-focus, lol ...
@rymerpt - I can't vote against D3's tacos, but I can send you some seeds: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/38605-grantmichaels-2013-2015/?p=1141820

Boy another tough one. Had to go with D3monics fully loaded Fiesta de Carnitas, everything I could ever want on my taco! But the Halibut and Lamb in keybrdkid’s tacos were calling my name as well, a few more fillers they would have had me! Either way I’d have to finish with geeme’s sweet tacos for dessert (dark chocolate and fruit, it does not get sweeter than that!)
