Cinco de Mayo may have come and gone last week, but that doesn’t mean Boise’s love for tacos is going anywhere.

Last week we asked you to tell us your favorite traditional and nontraditional spots to grab tacos in the Treasure Valley, and you certainly delivered. We’ve compiled a list of 32 restaurants, taquerias and taco trucks throughout the valley and created the Treasure Valley Taco Bracket. Now you get to vote and decide on the area’s favorite.

There was one standout favorite from submissions via our poll, but we’ll keep that to ourselves — as we know from previous Statesman brackets, anything can happen! Local favorite Antonio’s Kitchen is matched up with Boise newcomer Coa de Jima, while Enrique’s in Kuna is up against Carniceria Coalcoman in another tight matchup.

Those are just two of the 16 choices you have to make in round 1. So scroll down and take a minute to go through these head-to-head face-offs and help decide which 16 locations will move on to the round 2 next week.

Voting closes at noon Friday.
