I love tacos. And I loved these tacos! They were a delicious twist on a classic dish.

Delicious! I couldn't get enough of these tacos.

LOVE these. The feta cheese and cream sauce are amazing flavors.

The sauce was great. I don't usually have a creamy sauce like that on my tacos, but it works!

Yum! I loved the sauce that went with the tacos. Next time I will add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes when cooking the meat.

So good! I've never put a creamy sauce on my tacos before, but on these it tasted AMAZING

YUM. Really great flavor. Cilantro is a fabulous ingredient.

I love mexican food! Gotta give this a try for sure.

This picture looks completely delicious! I love the idea of using feta cheese in a taco.

I think the name is unfortunate (it sounds like these tacos are moldy), but from the recipe description, these sound delicious! I love tacos and garlic, so garlic sauce on tacos sounds delightful.
