What do you get when you cross a Deadhead, some really good tacos, and a cooler full of beer? You get Greatfull Taco, and you're pretty happy with your results.
My husband and I started with a bowl of queso and chips. The queso was spicier than I thought it would be, but in a refreshing way. In a city full of bland queso it's nice to get one with a little kick to wake your taste buds up. It's probably nice for the restaurant too, since it likely helps them sell beer and wine -- and they have quite a selection! I had an Ace Pear, which I absolutely recommend with everything.
I had one taco, and my husband had two. I honestly can't remember what he got. I had The Wharf, which is a crispy cod taco with jalapeno mayo, slaw and lime on a corn tortilla. The fish was well cooked and crispy, but honestly there was just too much slaw for me. The jalapeno mayo was good, very spicy, but after the queso my mouth felt a little burned out. Although I guess I should know better than to buy fish tacos. I've already had the best. Anything else is going to be a disappointment.
I tried a bite of one of my husband's tacos (I think it was the brisket) and I really enjoyed that. What's impressive about Greatfull T
aco is the sheer creativity and diversity of the menu. You want an eggplant taco? You got it. How about chicken strips? OK. Mystery meat? Well, I don't know why you want that, but they got it (and all they can promise is it isn't beaver). And none of it will run you more than $3 to $5.
Service at Greatfull Taco is basic. You order at the counter and your food is delivered pretty quickly to your table. I was surprised at how big the inside of the place actually was. Usually places with a fun concept like this are tiny holes-in-the-wall, but Greatfull Taco has plenty of room to accommodate you and all of your hip friends. Try it -- and let me know what you think of the mystery meat!
