You all rose to the occasion and sent in some sensual, serious, silly and downright sexy haikus paying homage to your favorite Mexican dish. Below are our 10 poetically gifted winners! Enjoy your tacos, mis amigos!

Is always in the fillings.
The soul, in the lime.

Eight arm bandito
Sonoran summer relief
My seafood taco

Feel like Fridays; tacos are
The most magic food.

But a taco is two dollars,

Softly surrounded
Embraced in comforting warmth

Juices dripping off my lips
Flavorful tacos.

Taco! My taco,
A melody of flavor,
Mouthful of delight.
