Must Love Tacos


My love for tacos extends far and wide.  So when I see a place that has tacos, I must try them.  I can literally eat tacos everyday of the week, from different places, and not tire of them.  A taco from Chipotle is a completely different eating experience than a taco from my lunch favorite, Taco Fresco.  I've passed Flaco's Tacos (http://www.flacostacosonline.com/) many times on my commute to work, but I never was close enough to enter.  Last Saturday, Adrienne and were in the area and decided we would go to Flaco's Tacos.  She had been there before and assured me that it would be good.  


Though the name only mentions tacos, Flaco's Tacos is much more than that.  They have Mexican cuisine ranging from enchiladas to tamales to sopes.  My first inclination would usually have been to go for the tacos, but since I'm taking food risks everywhere else I go I decided I would take another one here.  The special for the day was the chicken enchiladas, so that made my choice simple.  Adrienne ordered the chicken taco and a chicken tamale, which she allowed me to sample.  My enchiladas were good but I was very grateful for the self-serve water container, as they were also really spicy.  The inside of the tortilla was coated in a green sauce (salsa verde perhaps) and I could only eat so much at a time.  It comes with a topping of sour cream, which I guess assists with the intake of such spicy food.  Even though I'm not a big fan of sour cream, I had to have a little to calm the spice.  I sampled Adrienne's chicken taco and tamale, they were both good.  But my favorite taco is a steak taco, so I will be sure to order them next time I go to Flaco's Tacos.  


The bonuses to this place include the late hours (open to midnight on school nights and 2am on the weekend) and the fact that they'll deliver!  Tacos driven to my door..what's not to love?


My enchiladas.  They come with beans & rice.  But I had to say no to the beans, I admit overcoming my pickiness will be more of a marathon than a sprint :)
