Right next door to Penzey's is a place called 'Swanky's Taco Shop'. It's concept. I picked up a menu today while I was on break from clbutt (yes, I went back to Penzey's but I only spent $12 more!). Since I have to be out that way again next Tuesday I'm going to give Swanky's a shot. You order in steps.
Step one: select your base. White or wheat soft tortillas for burritos? For (3) tacos, soft tortilla or crispy? Or are you getting a salad? If so, what type of dressing? Or do you want a burrito bowl? (No idea what that is, maybe one of those big tortillas fried and filled with stuff.)
Step two: what meat do you want? chicken, pork, beef, ground sirloin, vegetarian (I can only hope it's not ground 'Boca-Burgers'!) or fajita steak?
Step three, select the sauce: roasted chili-tomato sauce (mild) or tomatillo sauce (medium) or roasted habenero sauce (hot).
On to step four. What do you want on your taco/burrito/meal? Choices are black beans, cilantro, diced tomato, sour cream, veggie mix, jalapenos, guacamole, garlic sauce, pinto beans, red onion, pico de gallo, "Mexican" cheese, shredded lettuce, cilantro-lime rice, charred corn salsa.
They pretty much guarantee they'll have built your meal to your specifications in 5 minutes even if the line is out the door (although the guarantee doesn't really entitle you to anything if they don't). They have corn & hot pepper soup' which I'll have to try. They also sell margaritas, sangria and beer (along with the usual non-alcoholic beverages).
Mexican oregano 5640djs0302 I don't particularly care for Mexican oregano, remeinds me of lawnmower scrapings... I bought some so many years...
I think I'll order the (3) soft tacos. Tomatillo sauce, fajita steak, and since I'm not a raw veggie person I'll have them add some black beans and mexican cheese, maybe some sour cream. (Note: I just called to inquire about the cheese - it's shredded Asiago.) $6.50 for a 3-taco lunch. I can live with that ;)
