Tin & Taco, Downtown

Ok. Cinco de Mayo present number two is this fast fresh Mexican spot on West Washington from the folks at Gringo's. Now why a Mexican place finds a need to open a slightly different Mexican place down the street is anybody's guess. I'm just glad they did. I had three tacos to go for $11. Two are $8. All were great. large. Stuffed. Cheese infused soft tortilla. The first was a pulled pork and pineapple one called Al Pastor. Number two was a ground beef and "usual toppings" one called Tacosaurus. And the piece de resistance was a bleu cheese, hot sauce, celery and pulled chicken one called Buffalo Soldier. Who knew thinly sliced celery would taste so good in a taco? And the bleu cheese! The rest of the menu is around four other riffs on each meat (ground beef, chicken and pork). You can get the ingredients in a bowl, burrito, etc. They also have a decent selection of craft beer. It's tiny and rectangular. Maybe a capacity of fifteen. Counter seats. Half the footage is taken up by the prep area. The decor is minimal. Wood back splash is the budget buster. They aren't open on Sundays. I suggest they rethink that if the Lions are playing. With the free Sunday parking, it might draw a lot of traffic.They have been open since the Fall, I think. Another winner. Will be on the Favorites list.
