Talk about a diamond in the rough! Yelp always comes through for my food cravings when I'm in a new part of town. I was getting new tires on my car, so my husband and I headed over to Urban taco to kill some time and fill our bellies.
It's located on the corner of this small strip mall and looks pretty rough on the outside. Once you walk in though, you can tell it's newly modeled with a cute rustic modern feel. Casual atmosphere, fast service, and friendly servers. They had a great lunch special running from from 11AM- 2PM that included 3 street tacos with rice and beans for $7.95.
I think the unique stand out item here is their assortment of homemade salsa's!! They are delicious and packed with flavor. We started with the chips and salsa flight. $1 off coupon with check-in. Thanks yelp! (:
We tried multiple salsa's but my favorites were:
1. roasted tomato & poblano- perfect amount of sweetness and spice
2. roasted corn & garlic crema- creamy and tasty
3. roasted hatch chili- My FAV!! so flavorful
For the 3 street taco lunch special I got the pollo asada, short rib, and pork. They were all very good. Perfect size and good flavor especially when you added all the different salsas. My favorite was the pork, it was so juicy. The side of rice was boring though and needed salsa added to it. I could of gone without it. I was sad they didn't have a carne asada street taco though :(
Overall everything was fantastic and we left super satisfied. You know it was a successful visit when your walking back to your vehicle talking about how good everything was and when you want to come back. I did see they have a great everyday happy hour and taco special on Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you Urban Taco and thank you yelp for introducing us. I will definitely be back for a second date based on the first impression. Hehe do you believe in love at first salsa... I do! (:
