| - This is a place that is hard to rate. A four star review seems high for what this place is, but a three star seems too low. But I am giving it 4 based on ridiculously cheap prices and tasty food quality and the rest is just ancillary.
Taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday bring me back to this little dive over and over. This isn't your typical Taco Tuesday in Cleveland, where you only can choose from a few tacos. There are probably 15-20 choices that sometimes rotate, sometimes repeat. Last night I had the Ancho Chicken, Chipotle Pulled Pork, and Chicken Paprikash tacos. I'm usually squeamish about ordering meats and such in divey places but the flavors and quality seem pretty high. Lettuce, tomato, and cheese top all tacos, you choose your meat fillings (a few veggie choices, too), hard or soft shell, and sour cream and/or salsa. Beers are German and I usually split a giant stein with a friend, but last night I opted for a normal size beer. So, three tasty tacos and beer = $7. Seriously. $7. Wing Wednesday is a similiar set up with several wing choices, both dry and wet style. I love the wings but I haven't been going as often since wings make my clothes shrink.
Ambiance and service? Well, remember you are eating good food on the cheap. Corners have to be cut somewhere. This is a super old historical bar that could be quaint, but sadly, is pretty rough around the edges. It did appear that they recently painted and repaired some ceiling damage. But the tables are old school cheap bar tables and it's very, very dark inside. And service varies from average to slow. Best bets are to sit right at the bar for quicker attention. It gets packed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I don't think the kitchen can quite handle the volume efficiently during peak hours, but that's ok. Remember... $7 for really flavorful tacos and a quality German beer. Just know going in that this isn't fast food. And if you chose not to go? That's ok. More room for me at the bar to enjoy my uber cheap and suprisingly tasty tacos.
