| - I went to Doffer's with high hopes- I'd read a lot about it in the news, and well, let's be honest, it sits in the shadow of South Fork Deli. No. So many things wrong with this place.
First, I got the chicken tacos, figuring it would be a solid staple. No. The tortillas were cold, the chicken didn't taste like it was marinated in anything, the cheese was clearly the orange strings that come from a bulk bag, and the "salsa' was a handful of diced tomatoes, red onion, and green pepper haphazardly thrown on there. Second, they kindly put sour cream on the side, but as an establishment that sells only hand-held items, had no utensils to spread it with. I used a straw. Third, the tacos were accompanied by french fries. What kind of self-proclaimed taco place serves tacos without chips and salsa, or guacamole, or something vaguely related to the theme? That being said, the french fries were delicious, even though I recognized them as the same brand served by my college dining hall.
Aside from their food, their aesthetic was extremely confusing. Doffer's makes me think of British chimney sweeps, but Canteen makes me think Wild West. Yet they advertise themselves as a taco place/ deli. They really mean that they sell subpar tacos and sandwiches, with some bottled beer. If they're really a taco place, why are there no margaritas or tequila? A bonkers place with awful food.
