| - As an out-of-towner, I wanted to make sure I was eating foods that are popular or "known for". A local at a nearby store told me to have some tacos! I guess it's a thing or maybe there are a lot of taco restaurants around. So she recommended I check out Babalu and when I did, there were lots of great reviews and knew I had to try it!
I had just finished shopping (lots of walking was done!), it was getting late and I was hungry! I made it just in time to put it an order and was I ever glad!
I was with a friend and we ordered the mexican street corn, 2 shrimp tacos, 1 chicken taco, and the filet on a stick. There was a huge amount of corn, way more than I expected and it was delicious! It had the right amount of seasoning on it. Our favourite was the filet on a stick, the grilled tenderloin was cooked perfectly! It was cooked to a medium (just the way we like) and melted in our mouths! It was tender, juicy and flavourful! It paired really well with the roasted potatoes and teriyaki glaze, so good! Unfortunately the tacos could've been better! The shrimp and chicken itself were really good, it was moist, cooked well and had great flavour! However, every good taco has to have all ingredients tasting good. The veggies could've used some sort of dressing or even better....pickled or marinated in a vinegar dressing....something to add a little more flavour. But they were still great!
Would definitely recommend it to someone else that would be visiting from out of town!
