Tabelog, a self-described “online community for foodies, by foodies,” has ranked The Rum House—which has locations in New Orleans and Baton Rouge—as having the best tacos in America. “Their menu uses all the best flavors of the islands to create mouth-watering tacos you can’t find anywhere else,” the website says of The Rum House. “The top sellers here are the Calypso Beef with lime cream, the Chili Glazed Shrimp with fried shrimp and rum chili glaze, and the Jerk Chicken with mango salsa.” Tabelog’s top 11 tacos in America list includes restaurants and food trucks from across the country.
