It's located where Newk's used to be (I LOVED that place too and hated to see it go) but this taco place is a great addition to the area! It is also my new favorite restaurant.
My wife had a work meeting here the other day and loved it! AND, she usually doesn't like Mexican food. For her to rave about tacos is a big deal!
The restaurant is clean, slick and attractive. There are funky cool images all over the place. It's one part steampunk, one part Day of the Dead, and one part bees (it works). This is original.
the food is original too. They have "Epic Tacos" on the menu. You can choose from nearly 20 unique ones, and they are each priced differently, starting at around $4.50. Some of the more unique ones (one has lobster on it, and one has kangaroo!) are around $10. Two were plenty for me, and I had the "Hell Yeah" (crispy chicken breast, sweet and spicy bacon, pimento cheese, pineapple slaw and dill pickle- $6). I also had the "Bang Bang (crispy Cauliflower, corn fritters, queso, and spicy crispy carrots- $4.50). We also shared chips with salsa which was $4.The chips were thick and very different. The tacos all come in a hard shell AND a soft shell. The soft shell really does a nice job of holding it all together. The tacos were crazy good and unique. This is something special.
We had a great waitress (I believe her name is Erin) who kept the refills coming, checked on us a lot but not too much, and she boxed our leftovers up!
Check out the photos and get there when you have a moment!
