Driving through Meriden, CT, you might see this sign just off broad street.
However if you’re in a rush, you might not notice the bottom sign there… a sign advertising a place called “Tacos mi Nacho.” And in fact, for the past three years I didn’t notice it. I knew there was a mexican restaurant, but I never would have been able to identify the name. During a recent visit to the House of Rock, Shamus did notice and promptly pointed out the restaurant to me. For those non-Spanish speakers the name of the restaurant translates to: “Tacos my Nacho.” Awesome.
What do they serve at Tacos mi Nacho?
According to the sign: Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Tortas, Tostadas, Pozole, Menudo.
Sarah and I hit up the restaurant this past Sunday and I must say, I was very very impressed. The atmosphere was nothing special, cheap looking booths and an average looking cooking area. But the quality was high and was immediately apparent when they started us off with chips and four varieties of salsa.
For the main course, both Sarah and I got burritos. Here’s a picture of Sarah with her meal.
Oh man! Talk about value for the dollar! This thing was 6$ and tasted super fresh and delicious.
Here I am having almost completed my chorizo burrito.
Overall, I rate Tacos mi Nacho with 5 out of 5 stars for value, 2 out of 5 stars for atmosphere, and 4 out of 5 stars for totally delicious. Also? 5 out of 5 stars for awesome restaurant name.
Also, it’s cool that this place educated me about what menudo is. Until then, I just thought it was Ricky Martin’s former band. Now it seems extra strange that they were called that, since it’s soup with tripe… ew.
