Day 23 - Tarascos

Seeing as how I was driving I got to pick today's lunch. I was feeling adventurous and decided to take Courtney, Matt and Bret to Tarascos. Being a fan of their rotisserie chicken, Sol backed me up and off we went. Located in the nicest of three or perhaps 6 ugly commercial strips at the intersection of SE Maynard and Chatham I first heard about this place in some local paper. (The review has been sitting in my car for so long the paper is now oily and practically transparent.) Sol naturally went for the chicken with a taco side. The side of beans for this meal are fantastic and loaded with pieces of hotdog. Matt doubled down on the pollo with a taco and a sopes. I went for one plain sopes, two pork based tacos (Pastor and Carnitas) and one beef (Al Carbon).
There must have been an error in translation because I ended up with an extra taco. Nothing wrong with that. The crown goes to Bret and Courtney who shared the most amazingly large meal I have seen during this eat-a-thon. First came the fajita quesadilla which was probably about 15 inches in diameter.

Then came the cuban torta. Ah Caramba! Sausage, Pork, Ham and...wait for it it....Hotdogs!

All on a roll with lettuce, queso de crema, onion and avocado. Fantastic!! The translated menu describes the ingredients as being "Sausage, Pork Cheese, White Sheese, Ham, Chorizo, Mayo, Lettuce, onions, tomate, avacado & jalapeno pepper". The Spaniards would take great offense in the dog being labeled chorizo but who could be upset with white sheese? Look at this kid pack it in.

Bret was so fired up he can't wait to experience their other delights. When that happens I certainly will be sitting beside him.
