I then add both salsas and haberno that they put on the tables. They are voted top 10 tacos in America and they live up to the rating. 10/10. BTW on Mondays the al pastor tacos are b1g1 free so four tacos for three bucks.
Hot Chicken Takeover - it's Nashville Style chicken in Columbus. Right now it's a pop up place. You go to their website and sign up to get their emails. Then they email when and where they will pop up and you pre buy your tickets. The chicken was fried perfectly probably some of the juiciest fried chicken I've ever had. I had the hot flavor and not the holy. The hot was just right for me and I love spicy food (they said the Holy is 3x hotter). The sides were pretty good. It comes with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. The ranch was homemade and really good as well. My biggest complaint is the sweet tea wasn't real southern sweet tea more like an ohio version of sweet tea. I would actually rate the chicken better then Princes Hot Chicken in Nashville. The location was in Olde Towne East which is a questionable part of town. I give the food a 10/10 but the location 7/10.
My wife and I love to try new places and go out to eat atleast very Friday so I'll post a lot of places.
Ever eaten at Hass? Had it last week and thought their tacos were great. Seems like Gauchos and Hass are mentioned with each other as the premier taco joints in Columbus. I know they have 2 locations now but neither is really that close for columbus
Also, holy shit, you were in my neighborhood yesterday. My apartment building is only like a tenth of a mile from the meat shop/corner store that was being held at in OTE. I wondered what the fuck was going with all of those people there. That place is never that packed.
Signed up for it even though I missed the perfect opportunity to check it out
