"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I ordered the bison frybread taco (miisiikwaa keetaheehiin, Kickapoo language), but it was a revelation: the frybread was soft and pillowy with a crisp exterior and served hot, topped with ground bison mixed with lettuce, tomatoes, pinto beans, pickled jalapeños, and cheese. Fast-food aficionados might think of a Taco Bell chalupa, but this bison frybread taco is in a league of its own—Taco Bell wishes its food tasted like this—and the dish was excellent and easily shareable among four friends listening to music in the cold; I can’t wait to visit Wahpepah’s in Oakland to have this again while sampling the rest of chef Crystal Wahpepah’s Kickapoo menu." - Eater Staff
