| - This was a surprise. A taqueria with the look and feel of a McDonald's. The place is very clean and service quick. The menus are in both English and Spanish, so no worries there, but some of the signs about specials were in Spanish only. We arrived just before noon and there was a very short line.
I ordered three tacos de lengua for 5.50, but they can be had for .99 each when they have specials. They were prepared quickly and were delicious. The tortillas probably were not made there, although I am not sure. They were, however, very fresh and soft. There was ample chopped tongue topped with onions and cilantro. The tongue was delicious and they do not skimp on the quantity. Other meat choices included chorizo, ground beef, chicken, pork, steak, pastor, and fish (for ten cents more). No complimentary chips and salsa (but you can order them). Of course, it's competing with Taco Bell, not sit down Mexican. Our food came on real plates and they have real silverware (as well as plastic, if you want it to go). That alone puts them above their fast food competition.
My companion tried the grilled steak and veggies. It was served steaming hot with beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and tortillas. Almost a fajita dinner, it was way too much to eat! Everything was delicious, however. The steak was nicely seasoned and still tender, and sliced into thin strips. The veggies, heavy on the onions and peppers but included some squash and other things, also were nicely seasoned. She took some home, but said that everything was good. We'd definitely go back.
By about ten after 12 the place was packed and the line stretched to the door. It appeared to move quickly, however, excepting for one person who appeared to need a lot of guidance about what to order. Several flat screen TVs were showing Mexican soap operas when we visit, but it appears they also show a lot of soccer judging from comments we heard.
Super Taco does have a bit of an identity complex. It looks and feels like a fast food place. But the menu also includes dinner items costing as much as $12 and would appear to come on several plates. Plus, their location, across from Menards in the North Prospect area doesn't seem to make them a casual stop; I probably will visit (maybe often) when I am in that area, but I rarely go to that area. The food is very good, quite comparable to El Charro (in town). In fact, I think that El Charro and Super Taco are the only places around always having de lengua, cabeza, tripas available as tacos, burritos, etc. Maybe Maize does too, but I don't recall for certain.
In any event, despite the odd location this place does a lot of business and serves very tasty food. The specials are extremely reasonable, but nothing here is really very expensive, especially given the quality and quantity of food they served us.
They have several hot sauces to choose from, but they are not on the table and don't appear to be advertised, but ask for hot, medium, chipotle, or verde at the counter and they will give you a bottle for your table. I'll also add that as they get crowded they get noisier, and you will have to listen for your number to be called. No big deal if you are prepared for it.
