I've seen a number of these around and couldn't figure if they were a chain or some new stab at a fast food taco place or what, exactly, and it turns out they're a local, mainly to Utah County, sort of mini chain. Fine, all well and good, but what's the deal with the dinos?
So I go inside and take a look at the menu (where is the desserts, dammit?) and they're going with the theme of street tacos and also larger items named after extinct creatures and ummmm ok. Weird, but sure, I guess.
I see the thing for 4 street tacos and chips and a drink and yep, I'm right there. I fill up the cup and peruse the salsa mini-bar thing and see ranch? BBQ sauce? There was another one also that I forget now, but I went with the house hot sauce and the spicy BBQ (wtf, when in Rome) and both, I am happy to say, were excellent. The BBQ sauce, in particular, was a surprise, both in a Mexi-style place and because it was better than probably 90% of the BBQ places I've been to and I'm not even kidding slightly.
Anyway, I get the street tacos and think they're tiny and wish I would've added another so I could have tried all the meats and had I know they were that dinky I would have, but anyway, I found myself wishing for both some kind of cheese to balance it and/or some refrieds, but nope, just mounts of meat on doubled-up tiny corn tortillas.
At this point, I'm thinking, kinda pricey for just that, but open mind, open mouth and away we go. The Carne Asada was solid. I had a mouth with and without the sauce. Definitely needs sauce, actually nearly all of them do as they were a bit on the dry side. Quite good, if I do say so myself, and I do. Next was the Chorizo. More or less the same story as the Carne Asada. Quite good as well, also oddly dry. That left the Al Pastor and the Pulled Pork, which they decided to call pulled pork and not Carnitas. I soon understood why as it is definitely more towards pulled pork. It also came dressed with BBQ sauce, the only meat to do that and I understood why immediately. Also dry. Also very tasty. That left the Al Pastor, which I'm pretty fussy about. Imagine my surprise when this one wasn't super-dry (bonus), but also had an outstanding pork to pineapple ratio AND was among the best Al Pastor tacos I've had. Ever.
So, despite a lot of little bits and pieces that could be improved, this left enough of a positive impression on me that I intend on going through the entire menu (not all in one sitting). Definitely a 4 going on 5 and Coke Zero in the fountain as well. Still wish there was either cheese or refrieds available and after stuffing all that meat in my mouth, I was really sincerely wishing for a dessert, maybe a nice flan or something. Anyway, excellent overall. read more
