Bob

The Bob Taco from One Eyed JacksHot on the heels of my last food review comes ‘The Bob’. I like the pizza at One-Eyed-Jack’s and had thought that the only vegetarian fodder until noticing “The Bob” Taco tucked away in a quiet corner of the Blackboard
(Chalkboard (AmE)).

Packed with freshly sauteed veggies (green pepper, onions, mushrooms), lettuce, slaw (red cabbage) and dressed with fresh Cilantro and a chili-lime sauce it beats the Bo Jangles out of the Hobo Pankcake I had earlier this week. Several varieties with dead animal flesh are also available.

Today’s Bob pictured opposite, it looked better before I started in on it.

For any restaurant owners out there that find this post, I am willing to write reviews in exchange for food. You know where to find me.

New Street Vendor Assesed by Local European Bon Viveur

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 by Andy

Word out on the street is there is a new Taco/Burrito vendor frequenting the corner of Market and Commercial. Today we managed to get a first hand report on the quality of the 3 bean soft taco with fresh salsa. The overall visual impression was favourable and the sprig of fresh Cilantro (Corriander (Eur.)) and slice of lime made for an appealing presentation.

Unfortunately this is one taco that didn’t score highly on the taste test despite a catholic measure of what the vendor was touting as a Salsa Picante and a dolop of Daisy. Your own reports on “Street Food” are welcomed, so let’s have ‘em.

Overall rating 2.5 flying rats out of 5.
