Patch has brought to you several Mexican-themed contests, such as who has the best margarita or the best Mexican restaurant.

But what’s Mexican food without tacos? This exquisite meal from our neighbors down south has become dear to many St. Louisans, with taquerias and taco trucks populating the metro area quickly in recent years.

So many choices, so little time to try them all.

Which is why we need you, our readers, to help us find the best tacos in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

Vote now in our poll for the best place to eat tacos in the area.

The voting period will take place from today until Aug. 17 at midnight. Winners will be announced on Aug. 24.
