Though many don't consider food to be a competitive sport, they have obviously never encountered LA Taco's Taco Madness, which determines who reign supreme in the world of this south-of-the-border specialty. This year, the NCAA-style tournament awarded two winners first place with 743 votes a piece. One of the creators of the award winning tacos was Guisado's, a joint that was also featured in LA Weekly's "Best of LA" 2011 issue for "Best Flight of Tacos." If the awards alone aren't enough to tempt you, check out this storied taqueria with today's deal of $20 worth of eats for just $10.

In Mexico City, tacos de guisado are the essential street eats composed of thick tortillas splashed with stew strewn with a bit of onion. These tacos are not like the standard scarf-it-down carne asada creations, they are meant to be enjoyed slowly with thought and attention to the variety of flavors. Guisado's brings back this concept with its menu of tacos filled with smoky chicken tinga, pork chops in green sauce, cochinito pibil and spicy poblano-style chicken mole. Vegetarians can rejoice over meat-free options with stewed squash, chilies and sweet corn tacos or mushroom, sauteed onion and cilantro varieties while the indecisive can leave fate in the chef's hands with taco sampler, which includes six mini tacos handpicked for you.
