Taco Grill

Critic's Review

I wasn't intending to eat lunch out today, but as I was driving around I noticed that Taco Grill had opened in the space momentarily occupied by Cheesesteak Experience. I figured I could try a taco.

I went in and picked up the menu, and they only have pricing for 3 tacos. "Do I have to get 3 tacos?". He said he could sell me individuals, so I ordered a skirt steak and a chicken. $5 even. My math is pretty good, so it appears to be cheaper by the taco than in 3s.

The cook guy threw some meat on the grill and made the tacos. I just let him make them as I waited at the counter.

Taco Grill Inside

I wasn't asked if I wanted anything; no lettuce or cheese here. He hands me the package and I go back to my car.

Taco Grill Package

When I got home, I opened them up. Just cilantro and raw onions and a thimble of salsa and sour cream.

I tasted the meat from each taco; both the chicken and the skirt were well seasoned. I folded up the skirt taco and gave it a taste; it exploded on first bite.

The taco shell wasn't very good, so I just tossed them. I ended up putting the meat and the salsa in a bowl with some of the sour cream and cheese and made a "Bowl" out of it.

Nothing special here. They have grilled cheese also. Can you see me yawning?

Conclusion

Tacos and grilled cheese on this desolate street; seems to me about the same level of idea as the Cheesesteak people. It's a small place with little ambiance; it's hard for me to believe that there's enough traffic down here for them to do well. There's nothing special about the tacos.

That's not a shell, it's a tortilla. Tacos come wrapped in them. There isn't much inside because it's an authentic Mexican "street" taco. They are simple by definition, with well seasoned meats or fish, and limited adornment. They are served like that on purpose. The salsas add the kick. Not a bunch of sour cream or cheese lettuce etc. Glad to these guys tackle the real thing.
