Yes, I was in Idaho. Well, actually I am in Idaho. What else am I going to do? Yes, I went Tacoteering. As every adventure, it was just that, an adventure. I am with a great franchisee for the company I work for. We were doing interviews, setting things up, Tacoteering. All the normal stuff that you do, right? It was interesting. If I was stuck with only this taco place, I'd go back, but lets be clear, I'm in no rush. Lets call a spade a spade, this place was light years better then Houston's places. The food was decent, ambiance was good. The folks there were really nice. The menu was not surprising to me. I've heard they have a few locations, the menu is what you are thinking and expecting from Boise, ID.
I know, a lot right? So I just went and reread what I've written. This place was not just light years better then Houston, it really put Houston to shame. I want to formally apologize to all of Idaho for even putting the letters that spell Houston in the same Blog, you are way better then that. Like I said the people working there were so cool. Really nice folks. They were efficient, friendly. I will say, I was the only person not working there in the busy building that knew what lengua was. They looked at me cross-eyed for a second when I ordered Buche and Lengua tacos. Salsa bar was pretty cool. Taqueria Style, I dig that. Really neat little set up. Taped up a sign that said hot to mild. I thought that was awesome. I did not try their "mild." They looked good.
Portions were HUGE. I was shocked. Could not finish four tacos and I did not eat dinner, I was still full. They were huge portions. They were not messing around. $2.25 a taco, you pay for it, but they were huge. Wait, did I mention they were huge? I hate it when people do that. Yeah, lets burn on that for a second before the ratings...
WTF? Why do people repeat themselves. Let me tell you something, let me be crystal clear, I don't need you to repeat yourself to me over and over. I am not responding because:
a: I know you're an idiot
b: I know what you're saying makes you more of an idiot
c: I could give a damn what you are saying
d: I'm ignoring you on purpose
e: My response will make you cry which will only increase my distaste for being around you
f: You suck
g: I don't like you
h: I don't want to encourage you to speak more
There are a few more reasons, but stop. I'm not saying please, I'm saying. It is ridiculous. I'm not deaf. I am ignoring you. Then, you say the same words and stuff over and over. Alright, over, for now.
RATINGS:
ASADA: 3, good stuff. I mean it wasn't anything to call your friends about and invite them over, but you are not going to want to attack the chef.
PASTOR: 2, attack of the sauce. Way too much. The meat was drowning. It was unnecessary. The sauce was in abundance and not very good. Aciote, too much, pepper, not enough, ancho chilies, hello! Yeah too many anchos.
BUCHE: 3, good stuff. This is no Tacos el Gordo in Chula Vista, but not bad. I'd order this again. When I'm back, I might come back for some Buche.
LENGUA: 3, solid. Good stuff. I like it. It was tender, good. Not as flavorful as it could have been, but good.
SALSA: 3
JALAPENO: 2, they were not good. They were bad canned peppers. Just not good.
ROJO: 2, yucky. They don't know how to properly dehydrate peppers.
VERDE: 4, yum, yum give me some. It was great. Tomatillos were good. Salsa was smoky, coriander, cilantro.
GUACAMOLE: 3, not amazing, but good stuff. I liked it.
Large and in charge! The guacamole was a surprise. I didn't expect it on the tacos. Pretty good stuff. Nice presentation. Here's the thing, this place is good. Not amazing, but great for Boise. Idaho, nice job. I look forward to my next trip and more extensive Tacoteering.
Quick teaser, end of the month, the clan is back out, The Order of the Taco has a trip planned for San Diego. Five taco places, one brewery and the group. Excursion, here we come. We are inviting a few others, you have been voted in.
Thanks to everyone for reading, appreciate your time. Please tell your friends and Stay Excellent!
