We are seriously on a kick here. Over the weekend we ate tacos four times, if you count Sonic trips (which I do).
Two of those trips were noteworthy, hence coming back for Taco Tuesday, Round Two.
Sunday afternoon we met some family at a spot they'd scouted, Good to Go Tacos in Garland.
The shop is tucked away behind a super unsuspecting strip mall, near a discount furniture store and a pharmacy. But Good to Go itself is very cute.
It shares covered patio space with its neighbor, Goodfriend Beer & Burger Garden (which we've heard is also delicious!), so it'll be great to go back when it warms up a bit.
Did I mention they serve specialty coffee drinks (which of course made me a happy camper). I love my lattes.
When it came time to order, after waiting in a long but quick-moving line, I was torn between several appetizing-sounding options, including one with apricot-glazed ham and asparagus. Ultimately I went with the one at the top of the list.
The "Paris, TX Taco," a steak, egg and hollandaise concoction. It was pretty good, and apparently I'm not the only one to think so.
What I really loved was the potato hash though. Yum.
Mikael got the soup-of-the-day, a chli verde chicken soup, which had a bit of kick and proved good to the last drop.
His cousin, however, out-ordered us both, by getting the biscuit & gravy taco AND the chicken and waffle taco. Both looked delicious, and will demand a trip back.
The atmosphere of Good to Go is trendy, to put it simply. There were lots of ironic mustaches and yachting shoes being sported at the outdoor tables where we sat. But the prices were surprisingly reasonable, with most tacos under $5 a piece, and pretty filling at that. (My potato side was $1.50.)
Since I couldn't make up for my wuss-ordering at Good to Go, I was happy to get a second shot at glory when we went to Torchy's Tacos for dinner that same evening.
(And we really aren't as obsessed as we sound. Dinner was a church-wide choice, and since we didn't blurt out "Man, we just had tacos," that meant mas tacos for us.)
I mustered up some guts, and got the glorious Taco of the Month (which I mentioned last week).
The Roscoe Taco is chicken, waffle, fried egg, bacon, and a side of syrup.
Basically it's Waffle House in a tortilla. And that thing did not disappoint, though it did drip, a lot.
I don't have pictures from that messy experience, only two thumbs way up and a sincere plea that you check it out this March (if you're a fan of breakfast that is).
The waffle was one of the best I've had - super crispy and not too sweet - and the chicken was yummy too. Think Chick-Fil-A minus the accompanying waffle fries.
After hitting so many taco joints over the weekend I'm not sure we'll repeat that meal choice this evening, but if we do, my hope is for Tilapia Tacos. That's what Mikael made last Thursday (since we had quesadillas Tuesday).
They were some of the best tacos I've had, and definitely a recipe we'll go back to.
He grilled up tilapia on the stovetop, with a bit of chili powder, cumin and garlic. We mixed the fish with coleslaw, guacamole and a bit of salsa. Good times.
Now, y'all should really try and make me feel better and tell me something you could (and do) eat all the time.
Ready, go!
