Tower Tacos

Tower Tacos located in Benton Park is a Mexican Restaurant.  We went there on a Sunday night an hour before close, and wasn't busy at all.  Service was fine and ambience was average.  It's relatively small, just fitting about 6 tables or so.  No draft beers, only had common Mexican bottles and a few domestics.  They bring two salsas to the table, and one is a very spicy verde salsa.  It was the best verde salsa I've ever had, so you should definitely give it a try if you make it there.  Now for the meals:

Alex- four tacos (one chicken, one pork, one beef, one chorizo).  They were all very average, except for the CHORIZO.  Delicious.  It was the most tender chorizo sausage I've ever had.  I would go back just to have a couple chorizo tacos.  As far as the other meats, they were all pretty mediocre and kind of dry.  Although the al pastor (pork) came with pineapple, which was a great contrasting taste.  The price per taco was 1.49 so my bill was only about 6.

Matt- Steak Ranchero with rice and beans.  It had a nice spice to it, with a combination of hot sauce and peppers on top. It came with 3 small tortilla shells.  The steak was more like fajita meat, even though the menu makes it sound like a real steak. It cost 10.50, which seems like a lot but it filled me up. I typically do not eat a lot of Mexican food but it was one of the best Mexican meals that I have ever had. I would order it again.
Tyler- Burrito California.  See picture.  Absolutely ridiculous in size.  It legitmately could feed a family.  It's a monstrous tortilla stuffed with rice, beans, your choice of chicken or steak (Tyler got steak, which is what our server recommended), as well as lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.  It really was just a bunch of stuff mixed together and packed in a not-so-tight space.  All the ingredients blended together to make a pretty bland burrito.  The upside was that it was topped with white cheese (queso, just like you get at any Mexican restaurant, very good).  The downside was that it was also topped with a sort of enchilada sauce.  The sauce tasted like tomato paste mixed with water, something out of a Chef Boyardee can.  Cost was 8.50, but if you split it with someone it is probably worth it.  It's interesting to say the least.



Burrito California



Overall, we give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.  Try the chorizo, and  you HAVE to try their verde salsa.

Til next time,

Alex, Matt, and Tyler
