Taco aficionados already know it, but Concord is right up there with San Jose and Richmond when it comes to having some of the Bay Area’s best Mexican food.

Many of these restaurants and taquerias, which are open for takeout, outdoor dining or both, are family-run and trying to make ends meet during the current crisis. You can help them — and get your taco fix — by hitting the “trail,” a Visit Concord promotion that features 35-plus taquerias along Monument Boulevard, Willow Pass Road, Clayton Road and beyond.

The list is a solid mix of well-known spots like Tortilleria El Molino and hidden gems such as El Yahualica Tacos, which serves up mighty shrimp tacos as well as birria.

To get a spot on the Concord Taco Trail, the businesses had to serve primarily Mexican or Latino food, be located in Concord and be a single brick-and-mortar location, or one of a small number of locations. No chains were allowed and neither were stand-alone taco trucks, though several of the restaurants also own taco trucks.

Each of the trail’s restaurants offer specialty and signature tacos including al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, crispy fish, grilled tilapia and vegitariano. There’s even filet mignon.
