Walked in around 7:30pm on a Thursday and the place was completely empty. That's usually a bad sign.
There were 2 guys behind the counter and they both eagerly greeted us before the front door had finished closing. OK, getting better.
They asked if it was dine in or carry out. We said dine in and were offered the pick of any table.
One of the guys brought waters immediately after we sat down. And a few minutes after that the other guy came over to answer questions and take our orders.
We started with chips and guacamole. The chips were warm and crisp and a hint of lime; kind of like Chipotle's but not as bitter or overpowering. The guac was smooth and creamy. We liked both.
For tacos we tried the Al Pastor, barbacoa and carne asada. All were pretty good and uniquely spiced and flavored. My only complaint is the amount of lettuce piled on top. We had to scrape a good portion of it off. The tacos are good and don't need to be buried under a mountain of filler.
We also sampled several salsas from the salsa and found them to be most excellent. Salsa bar is on point.
We were pleasantly surprised at the food and service we received at TC TACO. I really hope this place makes it because it deserves to.
