A few days ago I was blown away by a tortilla chip. This was an event that took me by surprise. Usually, I’m not that big of a tortilla chip fan–I like them, and if I’m around them I’ll eat them. But, I never truly crave them in the same fashion as I crave, oh, a decadent chocolate torte.

All of this nonchalant tortilla chip tasting has now ceased. I took some advice from Jatbar and went to Tres Potrillos Taqueria. The food was great, and was even on par with Taqueria La Bamba in Mountain View. The main event was definitely the tortilla chips–something that wouldn’t even be worth noting at other establishments.

The chips were perfectly flaky and crunchy at the same time. I’ve never experienced a flaky texture on tortilla chips, and immediately recognized its superiority over any other chip I have ever eaten. The salsa was also very fresh, and one of the best I’ve tasted. In short, even Tippy liked the chips–and she’s not a chip fan. We ended up eating three more plates of chips after we ate our meal.

Behold, for we have seen the tortilla chip light! Never shall we return to those despicable Doritos.
