I hoped to check in early at the hotel but no room was clean. The clerk said I should go eat lunch and she'd have a room ready when I got back. She gave me a sheet of paper with local restaurants listed and said I should drive by every restaurant on the list and find the Taco Shack which wasn't even on the piece of paper. She said the Taco Shack wasn't listed, but I should go find it because it would be worth the trouble. She also told me to get the beer battered fish burrito. She tried to describe it to me but forgot how to use her words and just made moaning sounds and hand gestures and euphoric eye movements and finally blurted out to just get it. She was right. I ordered the burrito and it was huge and delicious especially with a small side of guacamole. I added a grilled shrimp taco as a side which was also wonderful. The food was juicy and flavorful and way too much to eat in one sitting. I wrapped up half the burrito and took it back to the hotel with me and had it for a late night snack when I returned from my meetings. So good!
The place is small and tucked away at the end of a building and you may not see it driving down University, but you shouldn't give up. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. Seating is a bit limited but I found a corner to hide in.
If I was a good person I would have brought a burrito back to the hotel clerk, but I didn't think of it until I walked in the door. I thanked the clerk for steering me right and apologized for not buying her lunch, but I carefully hid the leftover half burrito behind me because I didn't want to share. She was a good person and hooked me up with an early check in anyway. Winner all around!
