The weather isn’t the only thing that’s heating up, so is the competition for the Treasure Valley Taco Bracket. Or is it just the salsa?

We’ve entered round 2, narrowing the matchup of 28 restaurants to the choice between 14. Some are a tough call like Calle 75 versus Spitfire Tacos + Tequila.

Some surprises have emerged, but the winner has yet to be chosen! It’s up to you to help crown the area’s best taco spot — whether traditional and unexpected.

So scroll down and take a minute to go through these head-to-head face-offs and help decide which taco spots will move on to round 3 next week. Voting in round 2 will remain open until Wednesday, June 18.
