Bleh! I was hoping for some good breakfast tacos this morning so I thought I’d try out Blanco Cafe. I decided I’d grab a bean and chorizo taco and a barbacoa taco to-go.
First I ate the chorizo and bean taco and it was fairly good, yet messy. Then I got to the barbacoa taco which was horrible. It seemed like they used week-old barbacoa which left a bad lingering taste.
I wouldn’t order their barbacoa, ever, without first asking if its fresh or figuring out when they sell the most of it. In any case, they had some interesting, and cheap, lunch plates I’ll have to try in the future. I’ll give them a second chance soon and update this review.
Edit 06/08/08: I tried them again recently and decided I’d give them one more star. I ordered the exact same thing as I had previously just to make sure it wasn’t just a bad day. I asked if the barbacoa was fresh and the waitress said yes. The barbacoa was decent this time, but they put a big chunk of burned barbacoa in it too, which was not good. Certainly not worth 3 stars. I’ll edit this again when I try their lunch.
