| - The Godfather, Terminator, Toy Story, Gadzooks..... believe it or not all of these things have something in common. The sequel is just as good as the original. I have been in love with the Ladas that have been pumped out on the corner of 7th st and Osborn for years. When I heard that a second location was happening I sat... I waited.... my anticipation was growing like it was the 4th of July and the next Will Smith movie was debuting.
Finally it arrived, aaaaaaaand SHOW TIME!!!
The first thing I noticed about the new Gadzooks was location, location location, right on the canal on Camelback and 40th st. So why not take a bike ride down there?! The feel was very similar to the original Gadzooks location and I saw many similar faces behind the counter, which was refreshing, because I knew that my lada (*spoiler alert, I didn't get a lada) would match the consistency that I have expected from this establishment. As I step up to the line I notice right in front of me a Beer handle from Wren House, a great local brewer. I asked for a beer expecting it to be poured and delivered at the end of my production that will be my meal. But NO... the employee poured the beer and handed it to me as we started!!!! What a great idea, now I get to enjoy a drink as I make my way down this line.
Back to the spoiler, and one of the main reasons I am writing this review. I have heard rumors about a Taco, a taco so good that Humpback whales have been known to migrate down the canal of Phoenix just to get a taste. "The Festival Taco". Chicken, corn bread, slaw, cotija cheese, jalapeno ranch.... so simple..... so amazing. You can tell that no corners have been cut in the making of all of Gadzooks creations. The consistency of freshness, and overall product that they produce will keep me coming back over and over again. I am Glad to see that even in the second location no attention to detail was lost and they continue to produce hits.
**Redefining the Enchilada..... and now Tacos**
