If you saw our recent posts, then you know we have begun our latest interactive feature; our bean and cheese taco tournament.

The Gavel Staff continues the 1st Annual HHS Taco Tourney with a battle to remember between Bill Miller, the SA fried chicken favorite, and the taco joint that had its origins right here on Hildebrand and has spread pink signs all over San Antonio, Taco Cabana, giving us a exhilarating second battle.

In our last matchup, we saw Tink-A-Taco have a close battle with Taurinos, beating them by a few points. Now we are ready for game three. Using the same process and rubric, we will be rating them equally and unbiasedly. Here is the rubric that our staff created by which we rated these locations once again to determine who is the victor:

The first rubric item we have is the bean-to-cheese ratio; just how balanced these tacos are.

Next is the bean quality. Do they taste like canned beans, or freshly mashed and fried?

Another item is the cheese quality. Is it grated American cheese, or high quality dairy products?

The tortilla quality is next on the list, bought from the store or homemade and perfected by Mom?

The value of the tacos is next, where price and size are considered.

Finally, we have the convenience of the location, just how far is it, and how fast is the service?

The result was decisive: Bill Millers dominated Taco Cabana in every single item on the rubric.

Just as before, we added up all the points they got collectively, divided the numbers by the amount of judges we had, and then compared the two to determine the victor of the third round. This round was a landslide win.

For the third round of this year’s Taco Tourney, Bill Miller claims the win after an easy battle. and is moving on to the next round of the competition.

Gavel Staff Member Madison Chapa said that Bill Miller tacos are “superior to all other tacos and also they were really good!”

Tune in to find out who wins the final round of the preliminaries, Henry’s Puffy Tacos vs. Taqueria Guadalajara. Check us out next week for those results!
