So there I was in Richardson a few days ago around lunch and thought that I would drop by an old haunt. Lo and behold the restaurant was no longer there, which is not so odd in our world, but the shopping center that it was a part of was also no longer there. Bare dirt, except for this lone outpost. Oh boy, another taqueria. But it was noon and I was famished so in I went. Stand in line, order a taco, wait for you name to be shouted out, eat. Yeah, we've seen this before. 
I ordered the 3 Taco Platter which included the Baha, a fish taco on a corn tortilla, the Tinga Chicken which is also served on a corn tortilla, and the Street taco which is brisket, french fries on a flour tortilla.
The fish on the Baha taco was grilled perfectly, tender and juicy and delicious. TheTinga chicken, which is chicken stewed in veggies and spices, was wet, leaving a puddle on the tray. Wonderful. The Street taco fries were crispy McDonald's style fries in the taco with the tender brisket and a spicy cream sauce. Dandy. Maybe, just maybe, that tacos are like sex .... even when they are bad the are pretty damn good .... nevermind, I forgot Taco Bell *shudder*. I don't know that I would make this a destination restaurant but next time I am in Richardson at lunch I will not hesitate to stop.One more thing, skip the chips and salsa. Waaaaaayy too much salt.
