Libra: Taco Nachos

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, you love to act as a connector and matchmaker. Maybe it's your romantic side, or maybe it's your air sign energy, but either way, you'd rather do things with a group than go at it alone. So order a heaping pile of nachos (we know, this isn't a taco per se, but the toppings are all there!) that everyone can share and munch on casually while chatting.
Scorpio: Spicy Korean Beef Tacos

Sagittarius: Cochinita Pibil
iStock / ALLEKOYou're certainly not a beginner when it comes to global flavors, which is why cochinita pibil tacos are right up your alley. This Yucatán delicacy is made with locally grown ingredients, so you'll have to travel to Mexico to get the full experience (which isn't out of the realm of possibility for you). But if you're looking to make them at home, you'll need shredded, slow-roasted pork tossed in a spicy orange glaze, refried black beans, pickled red onions, and habanero salsa. It might not be the original, but it's sure to delight and impress your friends.

Aquarius: Fajitas
iStock / grandriverBefore you say anything, yes, fajitas are not technically tacos. But since when were you one to follow the rules, Aquarius? You're the quirky rebel of the zodiac who likes to choose their own adventure. Fajitas have all the same components that your favorite plate of tacos might, they're just served a little differently. You can mix things up and build each bite exactly the way you want it.
Pisces: Tacos de Pescado
iStock / grandriverYou're more of a mild personality, Pisces, and your taste in food reflects that. As a water sign, you tend to take on a lot of the burden of those around you. So, when you have some time to yourself, you like to snag something light and refreshing to help you wash away the worries of the day. Tacos de Pescado is a tasty alternative to red meat tacos and can be dressed up with delicious fruit salsa. And, of course, as the fish of the zodiac, this is just perfect for you.
