The Valley's taco scene is thriving! California Tacos (329 Water St., Eau Claire) claims first place, evolving from food truck to storefront while perfecting their craft – especially their mouthwatering birria tacos and creative daily specials. Silly Serrano Mexican Restaurant (2006 Cameron St., Eau Claire) brings authentic, artistic flair to second place, with street tacos that match their vibrant atmosphere. Guac N’ Roll (420 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire) completes the top three. Their downtown location has won hearts with authentic el pastor tacos that prove why they’ve grown from food truck favorite to brick-and-mortar success. –Jen Ekblad
