| - Outstanding Tacos!
After hearing my wife rave about their tacos and nachos for months I had to see what all the hype was about for myself. The inside is fairly small which is a shame as in order to really enjoy their tacos you need to eat them freshly made. Maybe ten seats wrapped around the cooking area and maybe another three or four seats at the window. Lucky for us, the evening we went the place was almost completely empty at the time we arrived but filled up quickly after.
As far as their taco choices go they offer about six different tacos. Carnitas (pork), Pollo (chicken), two types of ground beef tacos (Carne Molida and Americano), a Vegan taco and a Special Daily Taco Special each for $3 each served on either a flour or corn tortilla.
On my first visit I went with a Carnitas, Pollo and Carne Molida taco. The Carnitas taco features slow smoked pork, Mexican Slaw, Pico de Gallo, Mexican Farmers Cheese and Cilantro & Lime. The Pollo taco features marinated chopped chicken, Avocado, Cholula Crema, Pico de Gallo, Mexican Farmers Cheese and Cilantro & Lime. The Carne Molida taco features Spicy Ground Beef, Bell Peppers, Jalapenos, Cholula Crema, Mexican Farmers Cheese and Cilantro & Lime. Of the three the Carnitas was my favorite by far! The perfectly cooked pulled pork was so flavorful. It was melt in your mouth tender. The Pollo taco was a close second as the marinated chicken was very flavorful as well. The Carne Molida taco was good but not as much of a stand out as the other two.
On my second visit I had the Carnitas Nachos which for $5 is a stellar bargain as I was completely stuffed after I finished them. Some of the best nachos I have had in a long, long time.
I usually don't frequent The South Side or Carson Street very often, but Doce Taqueria will be changing that for sure!
