| - We went here last night for Valentines Day and there were 16 items on the menu for the day. My boyfriend and I have 11/16. We wanted to try them all but couldn't fit a bite more.
Lets start with the tacos. There were 6 flavors: Chicken, fish, beef cheek, pork belly, scrapple, and cauliflower. So they were all bursting with flavour and I had to keep taking small bites out of each one to really try and decide which one was my favourite. I loved the pork belly one because of its tender meat and very delicious sauce. Then I would say the spicy chicken, then the beef cheek, then the fish (reminded me of fish n chip style but with a fine dining twist), then the scrapple (had sort of a bouncy texture to it, kind of hard to describe almost tasted like bone marrow...), then the cauliflower, which was still amazing! but I prefer my meats over my veggies.
We started with the guacamole and chips. This was the only thing that was really meh to me. Literally just baked chips with a bowl of guac and salsa. Cant really say it was REALLY good or REALLY bad... but anyways aftert we tried the Dr Octopus which was also wonderful. Not chewy as I had expected at all. Came with a very Thai like flavour, with corriander and that familiar tangy taste. We also had the fundido. Warning...our server did warn us...this is a heavy dish. Tons of cheese layererd with cheese and more types of cheese with hickory sticks to top it off. Maybe we would have enjoyed it more had we started with this, but to finish off with it was a no-no. Its kind of like a big cheesy dip. Mightve helped spice up the bland quac and salsa combo instead, to use it as a chip dip.
Next were the desserts. I really wanted to try the churros but was told they discontinued that for a while until they could get a separate fryer. So we had the hell cake and key lime pie. It was really cute, they came in little mason jars. For $5 each, they were exactly what was expected. I wasnt a huge fan of the hell cake, dont really like raisins much in desserts especially paired with cake. The key lime was a lot more in my favor. Liked the extra sour taste with the cookie crumble at the bottom. Not too much creme so it was the perfect balance in a little dessert cup.
Overall except for the fundido and guacamole appetizer, I still give this place 5 stars just because their tacos are beyond amazing. Next time I go I would order 2 of each :)
