But did you know that their kitchen is the hidden star of the whole location? Don’t believe me? Go in on a Tuesday afternoon around 5:30pm and tell me how many people you see there not eating. With a fairly extensive and bold menu featuring an impressively high quality standard for bar food, you’ve got a guaranteed good meal ahead of you. Featured with us is their fried avocado taco, created exquisitely with avocado, cucumber, radish, green onion, pickled onion and a vegan chipotle crema. The delicate but crunchy shell around the avocado gives way to a burst of that creamy smooth texture and robust avocado flavor that us millenials can’t seem to get enough of. Add to that the combination of colorful and fresh veggies that help round out the profile of the avocado and a hint of that vegan chipotle crema to finish, and you have what feels like the most decadent taco you can find.

DIA DE LOS TAKOS 143 Truman St. NE My love for Dia De Los TaKos is already well established from my review of them a while back, but a good reiteration of these things is always worthwhile. Combining flavors in bold and inventive ways to create a culinary experience unlike anything you’ve ever tried before is not a new concept to them, and soon enough, it won’t be to you either. With a trio of tasty tacos on feature, you’ll find one that definitively suits your needs. First off we have the Cali Convertible, featuring fresh beer-battered white fish, a Baja slaw and cilantro crema. Crispy exterior, light and fluffy interior, but don’t let the simplicity fool you. In some cases, less is more, and the ingredients all work in harmony to create a taco that brings a relaxing day at the beach to mind. Next on the menu is the Grandpa’s Pick-Up Taco, featuring confit pork carnitas topped with salsa rojo, guacamole, onion and cilantro. An added bonus is that this tender taco is also gluten-free. Finally, we have the Electric Bike Taco, if meats aren’t your style. Crafted with sweet crispy potato, creamy house cashew cheese, Jerusalem salad and guacamole, this is the kind of flavor combination you want in all vegan dishes. Bold, unafraid and reminiscent of something you feel you’ve been lacking in your life but could never quite put your finger on. With a visually appealing interior, you’ll have no trouble framing the perfect background to accompany your equally appealing tacos for your next digital declaration. TACO WEEK

They’re a Downtown favorite that is passionate about food and drink, and deserving of your attention. This round, they brought out a whole combo. Featuring a soft fish taco and a crispy brisket taco along with their wine topped margarita, it’s definitely a whole experience. First off, the fish taco uses sustainably caught cod with a citrus marinade. With that, you also get their special house three-cheese blend, featuring sharp cheddar, smoked provolone and mozzarella, with their corn and black bean salsa, freshly crumbled cotija cheese and a healthy serving of guacamole. The cod is light and flaky, with a really fresh flavor and the gentle tones of citrus highlight the good qualities of the cod. The crunchy brisket taco is a beast of its own, featuring the same cheese and salsa, but the brisket itself is the real star. It’s a red chile coffee-braised brisket that has some serious heft to it. It leaves a nice, soothing heat at the back of your throat, and the coffee notes are subtle but when they pronounce themselves, it’s absolutely eye opening. Finish those tacos off with the Sunset Park margarita, which is a traditional margarita with a layer of wine, Cabernet Sauvignon specifically, on top, and you have one of the most interesting combos on the list. With their carefully crafted interior, you’ll have no shortage of popping backgrounds to use to bring out the wild colors and sights of these tacos for your social announcements. GARDUÑOS AT HOTEL ALBUQUERQUE 800 Rio Grande Blvd. NW Many of us have incredibly fond memories of Garduño’s, who have been a staple of our community for a long time. Their location at Hotel Albuquerque continues to uphold that standard of quality and environment, especially the margaritas, which are arguably the best in the city. This food week, they brought the best of the best, with their tacos al pastor. This pork is simmered in a sweet and spicy pineapple sauce, then topped with cabbage and grilled pineapple chunks. These tacos were so damn good, we had to have a second helping after the first round. The sweetness of the pineapple and the salty notes on the pork made for something that was so delectable and enjoyable, you would be the biggest liar in the city if you said you weren’t enjoying yourself while eating them. An absolutely solid set of colors and tastes, you’ll find these are the perfect mix of presentation and digestibility. With their gorgeous patio, the final rays of fading summer sun before fall is here and your taco/margarita combo laid out, you’ll have no problem creating the wonder shot for your Facebook and Instagram profiles, highlighting that you were involved in the consumption of some of Albuquerque’s best tacos. a September 11-18 at these participating restaurants

FRIDAY SEPT 13

JUST LIKE THE OCEAN UNDER THE MOON

Dear Kids: Once upon a time, there was this band called Matchbox Twenty. The band had a sweet and smooth crooner named Rob Thomas at its helm. One day Thomas took a break from his pals and ran into a dude named Carlos Santana. At the close of the millenium, Santana and Thomas wrote an absolute smash hit called—wait for it—“Smooth.” Your parents are probably still singing it, even though I’m not. Anyway, Matchbox Twenty continued to rise and fall with the times and eventually, Thomas began focusing on a stellar solo career. Now, Thomas is touring on the strength of his latest record, Chip Tooth Smile, an album that critics have described as a “vibrant sonic background” that “encouraged Thomas to push himself as a lyricist and writer.” Interested? Check out the artist at Route 66 Casino’s Legends Theater on Friday, Sept. 13 at 8pm. All ages are welcome and tickets range in price from $50 to $120.

O’LEARY Building a Flashback “A Very Brady Renovation” on HGTV orget fentanyl, nostalgia is the most potent F drug our country manufactures. Americans will always possess a powerful desire— perhaps even need—to share a sentimental longing for the past. It’s something that unites us. Despite our differences, humans have a universal longing for the past, a sentimental desire to revisit a particular period or place with happy personal associations. For me it’s sitting on the curb of a Circle K next to my banana seat Huffy, sipping on a Slushie and reading the latest issue of Captain America. For certain conservative voters, it’s the comfort of racially segregated 1950s suburbia. Heck, middle-aged folks in 1802 probably bonded over conversations about how life was so much more civilized under British rule. So it’s no great shock to see HGTV trading on our country’s collective nostalgia, adding the ’70s sitcom-inspired home makeover show “A Lookinland (Bobby) and pairing them up with well in the pop culture-filled consciousness of Very Brady Renovation” to the pile of sequels, a selection of the network’s handy personalities. anyone curious enough to sit through one or prequels, remakes, etc. currently flooding out of Together with telegenic twins Drew and more episodes.
