Now I had been here once or twice before (or every damn day for a 3 month stint one time) and knew the food here was pretty good. The tacos we were reviewing were the mushroom and jack cheese tacos off the a la carte menu. Well they were exactly that. Sauteed mushrooms and melted jack cheese served up in your choice of corn or flour. I would suggest corn for these tacos. They were good and I would order these again, but I figure it would be kind of hard to mess this up. We met some cool friends of Abraham’s and even my buddy Alex made it out for this one. Check out the full review over on Abraham’s site. [...] [...] The next stop on the Tacogasm Tour was a place down on South First street called “Polvos”.

I wasn't one of those reaching for the salt, either because I generally don't salt much of anything anyway or because I was the only diner who ordered the 'shroom taco on a freshly made corn tortilla. The tortilla was sublime in its own right and added that bit of flavor interest that perhaps made the difference for me. Good times, good food and drinks, and especially good company followed by a good relaxed Sunday afternoon nap! What more could one ask for?

Although everything at polovos is basted is some crazy red sauce and i don't know what it is. The absence of it on the shroom taco was a welcome change. Nice to have all my old friends,( and some new ones! ) for an awesome afternoon! What mookie said. Although everything at polovos is basted is some crazy red sauce and i don’t know what it is.

After the first bite into the mushroomy/cheesy taco I was looking for the salt. In my (unexperienced) opinion it had sort of a "flat" taste and needed the extra oomph. At the end what really mattered was the company and the people we spend our afternoon with, which made it all very well worth it (the afternoon - not the taco :) ) I have to agree with Abraham.

CHICHARRON ES MAS CHINGON! That slimy, chewy pig skin was tasty. Oh Oh what is this? Fried Avacado taco?! You never told me about this! I MUST try one asap. All I have to say is….
