Not nearly as much as they would had you sent them pre-prepared with the taco fillings: shredded beef, grated cheese, lettuce, etc. But then, it's the thought that counts!
Just thinking about corn tortillas and first-rate tacos makes me envious of those living in the Southwest. In the Washington, DC area, we have some decent Mexican restaurants, but nothing to compare to the best in Arizona and New Mexico. I grew up in Arizona and for several years lived in Tempe, where Arizona State University is located. My favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire US is "Rosita's," which has been in the same location in Tempe for more than 60 years. Rosita's has the best shredded beef tacos I have ever tasted. During a visit to Arizona last December, I had the pleasure of meeting Miguel de Maria for lunch at Rosita's. I don't remember what he had, but I had my usual tacos, enchiladas, and frijoles refritos with a cerveza.
I have just about decided to move to Arizona within a couple of years, after decades of living abroad and in Washington, DC. My decision in no small part has been influenced by the proximity of great Mexican food.
Cheers,
Bill
