How the Avengers (and Their Villains) Prefer Their Tacos

The Avengers might be Earth’s mightiest heroes, but even they need to eat—and what better comfort food than tacos? From high-tech toppings to questionable villainous choices, here’s how I think each Avenger (and some major Marvel villains) would order their tacos.

The Avengers' Taco Orders

Iron Man (Tony Stark): Wagyu Steak Tacos with Truffle Aioli

Tony Stark doesn’t do anything low-budget. His tacos are premium Wagyu beef, seared to perfection, topped with microgreens, truffle aioli, and a drizzle of gold leaf—because why not? He probably eats them in a custom taco holder designed by J.A.R.V.I.S.

Captain America (Steve Rogers): Classic American Hard-Shell Tacos

Steve keeps it simple—ground beef, lettuce, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream in a hard shell. It reminds him of old-school diners and Fourth of July cookouts. He might hesitate to add salsa at first, but Sam convinces him to live a little.

Thor: Giant Viking-Style Meat Tacos with Extra Sauce

Thor wants quantity and power in his tacos. Think slow-roasted pork or lamb, dripping with mead-infused sauce, served in thick, handmade tortillas that can withstand his godly grip. He’ll eat at least a dozen and loudly demand more.

Hulk (Bruce Banner): Spicy Avocado and Black Bean Tacos

Bruce goes for something plant-based and high in protein—black beans, grilled peppers, and fresh avocado on a soft corn tortilla. He avoids anything too greasy (because, well, Hulk Smash). But if he *does* Hulk out, give him extra-large tacos with triple meat.

Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff): Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Crema

Natasha has a refined palate and enjoys a bit of spice. Her tacos are loaded with grilled shrimp, mango salsa, and a drizzle of cilantro-lime crema. They’re delicious but deceptively lethal—kind of like her.

Hawkeye (Clint Barton): Gas Station Tacos with Questionable Hot Sauce

Let’s be real: Clint eats tacos from a gas station at 2 a.m. He loads them with every hot sauce available and regrets nothing. The tortillas might be falling apart, but he eats them anyway—sometimes while perched on a rooftop mid-mission.

Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff): Eastern European-Inspired Tacos

Wanda gets creative with flavors from her childhood. Expect tacos filled with spiced lamb, pickled red onions, and a dollop of paprika-infused sour cream. A little unconventional, but they *will* put a spell on your taste buds.

Doctor Strange: Mystical Multiverse Tacos

Stephen Strange orders fusion tacos—maybe Korean bulgogi with kimchi slaw, or Indian-inspired tikka tacos. Every bite takes him on a journey through different dimensions of flavor. He eats them with surgical precision, never spilling a drop.

Spider-Man (Peter Parker): Classic NYC Street Tacos

Peter’s tacos are simple, affordable, and delicious—grilled chicken, diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. He grabs them from a street vendor between patrols, stuffing them into his mask at super-speed.

Black Panther (T’Challa): Wakandan-Spiced Beef Tacos

T’Challa’s tacos are seasoned with African spices—grilled beef or goat, topped with tangy slaw and a drizzle of piri-piri sauce. Vibranium-infused tortillas? Probably not, but you *know* Shuri has tried to make them.

Ant-Man (Scott Lang): Mini Tacos with Extra Cheese

Scott loves tiny tacos because *of course* he does. Think bite-sized tacos with extra cheese, crispy shells, and a lot of toppings. He probably steals extra from whatever fast food joint he gets them from.

Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers): Tex-Mex Tacos with a Side of Fries

Carol is all about no-fuss comfort food. She goes for cheesy Tex-Mex tacos with ground beef, queso, and a side of fries. If it’s messy and delicious, she’s happy. Also, she’s totally eating them in space.

Winter Soldier/White Wolf (Bucky Barnes): Barbacoa Tacos with Extra Heat

Bucky likes his tacos simple but intense—slow-cooked barbacoa, extra hot sauce, no fuss. He’s not big on fancy toppings, but if Sam sneaks pineapple into his taco, he’ll pretend not to like it (but secretly does).

Falcon (Sam Wilson): Southern-Style Fish Tacos

Sam loves Southern comfort food, so his tacos are crispy catfish with slaw, remoulade, and a little bit of heat. He probably argues with Bucky about whether tacos should have cheese (Sam says no).

Villains and Their Bizarre Taco Choices

Loki: Trickster Tacos That Change Flavors Mid-Bite

Loki’s tacos are unpredictable. One moment it’s steak and salsa, the next it’s peanut butter and jelly. He enchants them so you never know what you’re eating, just to mess with you.

Thanos: Perfectly Balanced Tacos (As All Things Should Be)

Thanos’s tacos are split perfectly down the middle—half steak, half chicken, equal parts salsa and guacamole. He eats them in total silence, contemplating the universe.

Ultron: Prefers Synthetic Food, Thinks Tacos Are Inefficient

Ultron doesn’t eat, but if he did, he’d judge tacos as inefficient food delivery systems. He’d probably vaporize a taco stand just for making a mess.

Red Skull: The Saddest, Most Flavorless Tacos

Red Skull’s tacos are plain boiled chicken on a tortilla. No seasoning. No sauce. Just pure suffering. Even Hydra agents pretend to enjoy them out of fear.

Hela: Bone-In Tacos (Yes, It’s Disturbing)

Hela likes her tacos “with bones,” which is a nightmare concept. Probably slow-cooked ribs without removing the bones, just to make things extra chaotic.

Green Goblin: Pumpkin Spice Tacos (Because He’s a Menace)

Norman Osborn would put pumpkin spice in his tacos and laugh maniacally about it. They’re probably served in neon green tortillas. Absolutely nobody asks for seconds.

Final Thoughts

No matter how you like your tacos, there’s an Avenger (or villain) out there who would probably eat them with you—unless you’re sharing with Loki, in which case good luck.

Who do you think has the best (or worst) taste in tacos? Let me know in the comments!

State Street, That Great Street: We Know About The Past, But What About The Future?

I just hope this post finds you, period.

If you're well, I'm glad.

If you're struggling, I wish you the best.

If you're cold, I hope you find warmth.

Chicago's State Street is an intoxicating place for me, full of memories from my younger days and my not-so-younger days. It's the older brother/sister/mother/father/sister-in-law to the tonier Michigan Avenue and for me, it is also the home to one of my favorite non-public bathrooms in the city (hi Palmer House!) and the Chicago Public Library, where I've spent countless hours researching, writing, and from time to time, sleeping.

A lot has changed in the thirty plus years that I've had a personal relationship with this retail corridor: the State Street pedestrian mall has been unpedestrianized, the Woolworth's where I bought a pet for my dorm room is long gone, and by the time you read this missive, the last department store (Macy-Field's) on That Great Street might be a pleasant memory, stripped of its clothes racks and stunning jewellery counters.

Retail corridors are in a constant state of upheaval and online shopping and the mercurial shopping habits of the American consumer are as fickle as a teenager's popular music tastes (hey, I was that teenager, so watch out!)

While we didn't profile it in this particular program, one of the newest arrivals on State Street is the Medieval Torture Museum (Tagline: "our product is emotion"----what?), gently tucked next to the Chicago Theatre and a Chick-Fil-A that used to be home to an off-track betting parlor where I once met a man who claimed to be Al Capone's son (he wasn't)

I have not paid the $39.97 to enter this 6,000 square foot chamber of horrors, but this physical manifestation of torture porn(ography) seems to recall another period in State Street history when there were dime museums, bump n' grind burlesque theaters, and adult bookstores scattered throughout the 300 and 400 blocks of south State Street.

There have been some other remarkable changes since we shot this program as well. One that sticks out to me is the complete closure of Pritzker Park directly north of the Chicago Public Library. Sure, this tiny bit of green and poured concrete wasn't a great public space, but it was one of State Street's only public outdoor spaces---perhaps the only one.

Honestly, I just wish you could buy a hot dog from a cart on State Street----something about that just feels so iconically Chicago.

That hasn't been possible since 1996 when the pedestrian mall went away, alas.

Of course you could just go to the "goth" Target (nee Carson Pirie Scott), buy a mini-grill, get some Vienna Beef(s) and set up shop AL FRESCO style at State and Madison.

Voila---your very own hot dog stand.

Louis Sullivan designed pedestrian bridge connecting elevated train to the Schlesinger And Mayer department store at 18 S. Wabash. This was later Carson Pirie Scott. The bridge, built without permits in 1898, survived until the 1970's.
