| - CPK, as some know it, is an upscale pizza chain. Upscale from say a Pizza Hut but not too upscale, as you can dress casually. At one time CPK was kind of special. Now you can get their pizza anywhere from standalone locations, to airports (Chad E.) to your grocer's freezer section. So, it was on this visit that I decide to NOT get the pizza.
As typical for any place near South Park mall at lunch, the place was packed. Fortunately, we were seated quickly and promptly waited on. Upon pursuing the menu and not wanting pizza, I came across my selection...Carnitas Tacos. The order arrived at the table as two flour tacos w/ not too spicy shredded pork in the middle of each taco. Topping these tacos was salsa verde, shredded lettuce, cabbage, red onions, and cilantro. The dish does come w/ avocado but I nixed that topping. W/ a squeeze of lime, these tacos were pretty decent. Great flavor and filling w/out leaving you stuffed. The side of tortilla chips was the only part of the meal that tasted overly processed...like corn flavored Baked Lays.
All of this for $10.75 was a little pricey for two tacos and chips. But then again, you are in SP and everything here is a little pricey.
I recommend this dish as a great healthy alternative to a cheese laden pizza.
