| - Stopped in for the first time tonight (Thursday, 9:30pm) and was shocked to find the place still packed. Fortunately we were able to get a table, and soon were delighted to find out that today marked the start of a new menu. Seeing the word 'butternut', I immediately opted for the appetizer, and picked the salmon tacos as my second must-try. The grapefruit sage margarita? Necessary as well.
Grapefruit sage margarita: pleasantly surprised by the fresh grapefruit flavor and the alcohol content
Butternut tostada: the highlight of this app was the spiced honey which really was only on the plate below the tostada. The butternut squash flavor was good, but there was too much ricotta. This would have been significantly better as a warm dish with the honey drizzled on top.
Salmon tacos: perfect. Each of the two tacos had a fillet of salmon all to itself. Perfectly cooked, melt-in-yo-mouth salmon combined with guac and pickled red onion makes for a happy me.
Choco tacos: better (and also less chocolatey) than I expected. Waffle cone taco, lined with chocolate on the inside, chocolate around the rim. Filled with avocado lime ice cream (you really only taste the lime). Topped with strawberry pieces/syrup and coconut crumble cookies. Yes there's a lot going on, but yes, it's interesting and really great to split between two people (two tacos).
I will say you should be prepared for not much attention from the server as this spot is very busy. However, the food did arrive quickly.
I really enjoyed the experience and the addition this place makes to downtown. Great place to try if you are in the mood for drinks and tacos (aka always) and are in the downtown area.
