Whachu Tacobot Willis? Taqueria Pinocho

Taqueria Pinocho is a true hole-in-the-wall style taco shop. Located in East Dallas off Carroll and Main Street we were surprised to see a large dining area with more than adequate seating available for families or large groups. With all their meats on display through the glass case and waiting to be chosen and cut, Taqueria Pinocho can handle large crowds of people and large numbers of tacos in a relatively short amount of time.

With a huge selection, consisting of all the regular street taco choices and a few more unusual ones to boot, the biggest obstacle to over come was the all Spanish menu. Luckily we found everyone behind the counter at Pinocho to be more than willing to help us and very excited to share their food. Continue reading →

2012 Crawfish Season is Here!

by Steven Doyle

You know what sounds good about right now? Well, besides that. Crawfish! It’s a bit early for crawfish you may think, but our buddy Jon Alexis from TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market has raised the flag to note that the season is on.

Jon says that the mudbugs are early and on the small to medium range in size. However, he has a way for you to get a weekly crawfish update to keep you in the party loop. Remember, they get larger and cheaper as the season progresses.

Hop on over to the fishmonger’s website and select ‘crawfish’ when signing up for his mailing list. That way you won’t be bothered with missives on delicious razor clams or today’s message about the arrival of fresh barramundi.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!
