| - I'm not much of a bar-food kind of gal, and when I heard we were getting a Taco Mac in Birkdale, I was disappointed. You see, I lived in Atlanta and had been to Taco Mac several years ago, but was never impressed with the place. But, times have changed and this Taco Mac is better than I've had in the past.
I think the food is marginally better than Hickory Tavern. Whatever you get, you have to try one of the queso dips as an appetizer, with chips AND tortillas. The tortillas come warm, folded over, and are just divine with the spicy queso.
The pork quesadillas are pretty good as well. And, for only $7.95, I consider them a bargain. To be honest, though, my chicken fajita quesadillas were a tad bland on a different visit. And the fish tacos were also bland.
When crowded, the inside is so loud you can barely hear yourself speak. There are a few tables inside that have taps on the tables, but they are never available. Because we don't like a lot of noise, we usually eat outside, and we really like the spacious patio, with plenty of TVs and heaters for when it gets cold.
Service is hit or miss, though, regardless of whether you sit inside or outside. I am so tired of getting asked for my ID when I order club soda. That's NOT an alcoholic beverage!
Taco Mac is a good place to try if you like wings and basic tex-mex food and, of course, a great selection of beer!
