| - I really, really wanted to like Tru Taco. It's close to where I work and I love this type of food normally. When it first opened, lines were consistently around the corner, almost to Freshii. Now, not so much. I'm not sure if the "newness" has worn off or what (fickle uptown lunchers!)
On to the food. The first time I tried Tru Taco, I had a salad with chicken and fixings on it; simple enough. Well, the people working there were really pushing for you to point at the names of the toppings, etc. on the glass instead of telling them what you want. This was weird to me. Why can't I just say "pickled onions, please"? The salad was pretty good, so I told my coworkers I'd give it another shot.
We went down there earlier this week, for my second try, and I had a bowl with Spanish rice, black beans, chicken and fixings. No pointing; I was allowed to ask for what I wanted. That was a plus. I noticed a little bit of a tummy grumble after my first visit, but I thought it was nothing. I don't normally have digestive issues. After eating half of my rice bowl, the familiar grumble was back and I stopped eating. Who knows what the problem is. Something they cook the chicken with, maybe?
I also take issue with joints like this not giving up the chips for free. Come on, chips are super cheap. You can purchase them, though, with chips/salsa or chips/guac for several dollars more.
