The Seas Will Rise regional food critic and taco enthusiast tactic assault and recovery task force has set off on a sojourn of personal and pallet enlightenment. We bring with us a bias towards awesome tamales, burritos and tacos from our Sonoran desert stronghold. Also 3/4ths of us refrain from eating the brutally acquired flesh of animals (we are ovo-lacto vegetarians, but the pope was a NAZI so no one is perfect right?) The 1/4th who chooses to clog his coronary arteries and pad the wallets of factory farms will not have a deciding vote on this quest for for food, so take heart that all these will be vegetarian dishes. We are in a dodge van traveling up from Arizona thru zion, thru the snake river valley into neverland down the gold coast and back thru the city of angels. We bring forks and empty stomachs (and hearts). The idea of a tour food blog is neither novel or generally exciting, but neither is downtuned hardcore, so either turn back or come along with us.
(editors note, listen to A Tribe Called Quests "Award Tour" and tell us it doesn't sound like they are saying "food tour"...really...well we think it does.)
FULL DISCLOSURE: Corey, the author, was not here, and is working off how the food looks from dispatches from the front.
Yayo Taco is apparently in some half empty strip mall that all western US citys are blighted with. I am sure there is a nail salon, a $1 store, maybe a water and ice store. Doesn't matter, good tacos are good tacos, and from the looks of this plate and erics correspondence of "holy fucking shit these tacos were awesome" this place isn't messing around. PLUS they host aggressive music concert events, which is rad. This is the 2nd taco shop Seas Will Rise has played (the first being Tacos Locos in Flagstaff when we were still referring to ourselves as CAGEMATCH) That place was passable to mildly decent, but all food in flagstaff is, sans Primos Hotdogs because that place is off the grid.
If Corey had been on this trip he would have politicked HARD for a capprotis sandwiches stop, which would have probably not been as refreshing and different as the Yayo experience (you know what yayo is? ask E-40 )
Anyhow, see you dorks in Salt Lake.
Stay Hungry.
