| - Coming for my first time to Downtown Container Park, my sister was taking me out for a fun day together, shopping and eating. We walked into Pinches Tacos, and I noticed how many people were out on the patios happily eating and watching their kids play on the playground. As far as I could see, Pinches Tacos was the food of choice amongst the people eating, so we decided to start here.
ATMOSPHERE
Walking in, the decor is interesting: pink walls with dancing skeletons. It wasn't creepy, but it was more of a culture-happy vibe. It made me a bit excited to try what was on their menu.
SERVICE
The lady behind the counter was helpful, very knowledgable about the menu and very laidback, in a good way. She let my sister and I try the blood orange margarita, and while we were doing so, the owner Javier came in a greeted his workers in a friendly manner. Then he jumped into our conversation out of the blue, which actually took us by surprise, but he was actually pretty fun! We took shots ON THE HOUSE from (and with) Javier. Definitely a great experience xD
FOOD:
SHRIMP TACO WITH COLESLAW, the shrimp is plump and juicy, with good seasoning. The coleslaw however is okay. Nothing to write home about, but I would order this again for the shrimp. At $3.15 it is a bit pricey, but service made it taste better.
MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB, with everything, it was delicious. Lots of cheese, crema and seasonings. With hot sauce, it was just the way I had it on a beach in Cali. Yes, again this was probably a little pricey to, but it refreshing and with the free shot, it was worth the few bucks!
BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA, fruity, just the right amount of ice and the margarita mix is strong but delicious
Overall, I had a fun and welcoming experience. It was my favorite part of my first experience of Downtown Container Park!
