:clap_1: Well folks, it's official; we opened the first taqueria in SoWal last night with a bang. The foods great, the tequilla is super and the name is simply...Taco Bar. Come join us for a great time. Brought to you by all of us at Bud & Alley's.

Actually we do have a salsa bar now. The first few days I did not have a small table that would fit in the corner so we winged it without it. We now have it in and it has two salsas, extra cilantro, onion and lime. We will be expanding to some other salsas as soon as we get the right size, cool looking containers to fit on the little painted table we put in there.

Note: We are introducing Sangria tomorrow in honor of Cinco De Mayo. We are having a street party with the Beach side shops all day long with $6.00 Gran Centario Premium Tequila Margaritas all day long. Come party with us. Dave

Just got back from this yummy place called Tomatillo's in New Orleans, and was thinking of suggestions for the new Taco Stand. First, they need a salsa bar...a few good salsa choices would elevate the whole concept to the point no one would mind paying $4 for a taco. Skunky had a grilled fish taco with this white jalapeno cream salsa and I'd have gladly paid $8. Roasted Tomatillo Chipolte Salsa, Guacamole Salsa, Grilled Peach Salsa, Pico de Gallo...it was really good.

Also, I think they need a Margarita that comes in a shaker called the Perfecto...do you agree IBD?

For some reason I'm thinking treefrog and SJ should hook up at the Seaside tacko stand.

Sorry SJ, I know everyone says you're lovable, but you're probably not my type. ;-) :funn:

We went for lunch. I recommend the shrimp (grilled to perfection) tacos and the chicken tacos that are served with an excellent corn salsa. The spice level is not up to my preference, but that's easily remedied by the really nice-tasting red salsa that is spicy with a smoked/chipotle taste. The verde salsa is also a good topping for those who want extra flavor without the spice level of the red salsa.

i'm Mrs. Shark - wanted to weigh in on the Taco Bar...I LOVE IT! For those who called it "bland", you're tastebuds must have been removed - it is anything but bland. Great taste, great atmosphere - Shark and I have been twice in 2 days and might go again. Loved the margarita's too!

I have eaten at the new Taco Bar twice. The second time was last night. The fish taco had a lot more flavor than the first time. The rice and beans were better too, They are doing a great job. My only complaint is their Margarita's. While they taste really good, they don't put much alcohol in them. We bought shots to put in them, only then did it seem like we were drinking Margarita's. The staff is very friendly, and they get the good to you very quickly. I will be visiting the Taco Bar again.

I went twice yesterday!

Had a late lunch of a fish taco, margarita and then a steak taco. The fish taco was superb!:clap_1: I wasn't as crazy about the steak taco, it had a slight burned taste to it. Probably timing on that one. I still consumed it with glee. I'm looking forward to trying the other guac, chorizo, chicken shrimp and carnitas in the next few visits.

Afterwards, I went to visit a friend in her newly relocated store in Seaside, and we went back for another :drink2: margarita! Each time the service at the bar was excellent and the margaritas were yummy. The crowd of course was a fun-loving group - ran into friends each visit.

Dave, I'm so glad that there is an affordable (by sowal standards) and yummy place to grab a quick, healthy lunch or dinner in the heart of 30A.

Point noted; I'll nudge the barboys&girls and make sure we are pouring a good stiff margarita. Thanks for the nudge nudge. Dave

I went to the Taco Bar 3 or 4 times over the last 10 days or so. The tacos were great. The only complaint were the portions. But I understand the overhead of the real estate. The margaritas are wonderful. I probably had 10 while there. :idontno: One time I had to order a shot to add, but other than that one, they were tasty.

Pollo taco - good
Chorizi taci - good flavor, a little greasy
Steak - My favorite
Shrimp - very good

I was there a few weeks ago (can't believe its only been a few weeks :bang: ) and had the fish tacos. They were awesome. :wub: Can't believe I have to wait a whole year to have them again!!
