Had seen this place a few times before and stopped in spur of the moment with my family. We almost didn't try Chico Loca Taco because it seemed it was crowded, but then we realized the crowd was for Girasole's, which is downstairs but shares some outdoor space with CLT. Turns out we were the only patrons at first (@7pm on a Saturday), but a few other couples came in while we were there. The Girasole setup gives the impression that CLT is crowded, which is perhaps the main reason that CLT was so uncrowded? Anyway...
We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We ordered two tacos (one shrimp the other brisket) and both were so yummy we just wanted to scarf them down individually instead of sharing as planned! The salsa was okay, but the guac was excellent AND plentiful--we requested (and were given) more chips in order to finish the guac. The tacos weren't as large as we'd hoped, but what they lacked in size they made up for in taste. And it left room for gelato! ***note: we did not get gelato here but rather at an establishment on Walnut St., as we had tried gelato here before and weren't impressed***
The setup is odd, with the gelato counter up front and the meal counter in back, which you have to wander back to. Though the space is welcoming, the setup breaks up the seating; but we sat outside anyway and enjoyed the lovely evening along with our delicious food.
