Post by GORDON »

It's a taco place that just opened in Toledo, no idea if it's a chain or whatever.

Anyway, it's kinda like Chipotle, except tacos, table service, and alcohol.

I didn't do "build your own," I tried 3 different pre-built types they had, so I could get a wide range of experience. Got a beef, a chicken, and a pork.

I realized something about these places that serve fancy schmancy shit on their food.... it's almost like they want to disguise whatever it is with other flavors, until it no longer tastes like whatever it was. I didn't taste the beef, chicken or pork in these things... I tasted the avocado paste, and corn salsa, and whatever else, they drowned it in. I don't even remember all the weird ingredients.

Condado is a taco place for people who don't like the taste of tacos.

That's a trend lately.

Or, like a variety of tastes.

As long as one of those tastes isn't "tacos."

There's a black taco truck that roams the city. It's parked at Alexis and Douglas 2-3 times a week that I think is pretty good.

That Condado looked like shit to me based on the pics they posted on their own website.

I just think there's nothing that millennials can't ruin.

They're in their 40s, now. And if they're marketing toward millennials, then it's the millennials' fault.

El Patrino is the name of the black truck. Got some steak tacos tonight. No sauce, just some onions and cilantro because they let the meat stand for itself?

They were at Douglas and Alexis again, but this time joined by 6 other food trucks. Another taco truck, a dog stand, elephant ears, a sandwich and cheesecake one(?), and some mom and pop one with burgers and fried food.
