It's paradise in the palm of your hand: two overlapping soft corn tortillas stuffed with juicy spiced meat or fish, bright chopped cilantro and, perhaps, tomatoes and onions. Add hot sauce as desired, a squirt of lime and life never tasted so good.

We've combed Long Island in search of the top tacos. Most that made the list (arranged alphabetically) are pretty close to the real Mexican deal. So get out the paper napkins and go to town.
