Day 33: El Zoro

Senior Salty has decided to dress up for the month of October in preparation for Halloween. He is planning to change his look to reflect whichever costume has received the most votes in the poll (which will reset every 5 days), so if you don't like his outfit, or just want a change of pace, make sure you log on and make yourself heard. Now on to todays tacos. I think today was officially the first time I have set foot in El Zoro before 2am. Situated on the corner of Columbus and Broadway, this late night staple of North Beach party-goers really doesn't come alive till the numerous, numerous bars in the area have kicked out their many patrons after the dreaded "Last Call." After a quick stop by the bank, I decided it would be well worth the extra two block walk down Columbus to see if El Zoro's food would be as delicious in the afternoon as it is after a few "adult beverages." Two super carnitas tacos seemed like the perfect way to test the waters of El Zoro's food. As you can probably guess by looking at the picture, I was not fully prepared for what was delivered to my table. A pair of small tortillas overflowing with black beans, carnitas, lettuce, sauce, and topped with a giant slice of tomato. A fork and knife were sticking out of the tomatos, which was good because these were some extremely messy tacos! Messy but extremely delicious as well. The carnitas was tender, and the tomatos added a juicy touch that I found very refreshing. After todays meal, I can confidently say that El Zoro is just as good sober on a Monday as it is in the early morning on a Saturday.
