The Original El Taco


Yay to Fro-Mo's and No Mo' to "Truck Stop" sliders... Gracias El Jeffe for leaving those nasty tasting chicken muffins in Durango. This dumb down Mexi-joint is perfect for the pedestrians in this area. Although the food is fresh and decent quality, it just isn't that adventurous. It's notches higher than those oven mitt Mexi-chains but your average Joe ain't gonna want a tongue or cojones de toro taco either. They want to do the safety dance while dining "Mexican".

Queso Royale - Who cut this cheez? It was a little on the watery side but acceptable. The corn chips smell like my dog's paws.

Shrimp Ceviche is rather chincy for the price. But if they threw in a few saltines on the side... Say what, it's suppose to come with them? And is this really a ceviche?

Fried Tilapia taco is exactly what it is... A fwied fish taco. Smelled alright and it went down fine.

Pork Carnitas taco is not bad, just keep that tortilla wrapped up because it ain't pretty inside.

Crispy Pork Belly taco is the best of the bunch. Put pork belly in a blender and I'll still drink the hell outta it.

Fried Chicken taco looks like the fish taco except that it tasted like chicken. Wrap a tortilla around a Popeyes spicy leg, now that would be a sight to behold.

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas were surprisingly good. It looked like hamster vomit but tasted like chicken heaven. Verra tastee.

Chili Cheese Enchiladas look like a hatchet wound from a 70's porn flick but it's passable. I guess it's better than a dirty Tex-Mex Sanchez.

This joint is fun to grab a bite and booze with a bunch of rowdy fwends... But I wouldn't call it a dining destination, Mexican food to me is all about a dare. That damn wheel from hell can get real annoying real fast. Limit yourself to 4 Fro-Mo's tops, after the 5th one, Whiskey Richard may set in. Don't say you weren't warned.

OLE!
