Whike swimming at The Richmond Plunge became lane pals with Steph. One Sunday morning taking a break between laps, she said she was going here for early lunch. "I'm heading to Brezo," I said, "I'm feeling those blueberry pancakes calling my name."
But I remembered the name and book marked it. She also mentioned there was a yellow truck parked out front and that was the spot. I looked at this tiny little lady, soaking wet maybe a buck twenty and was impressed she would venture to he hood for pastor. She said she's "always gone early" aka lunch. But it was worth it anyway because it was the "Ab-so-lute...B-B-Best pastor in he whole b-b-b-bay!" She said shivering.
"Ok I'll remember, meantime let's continue laps so I can justify those pancakes and you your Pastor tacos and warm up".
That was in 2017. Ok 5 weeks ago. So I was busy working from the office only having a protein shake all day. It was 3 pm! I'm hangry! Checked Yelp and this was book marked so hoped in the whip, and ventured to check it out.
Of course parking Car-ma in full effect, parked right out front, with no line. To late for lunch, to early for dinner. So I walked up and knowing from yelp peeps the tacos were tiny, I asked the nice friendly lady " are they really that small?" Making an "O" the size of a grapefruit. She said "yes, but they are only a buck eighty five".
"Ok I'll have four to go". Should have gotten ten damnit! "I've been sent here specifically to check the pastor out".
"Aha she said so do you want it with the usual things we..."
"oh hells to the yes", I jumped in before she could finish. Se went on to say to slice fresh cucumber and eat a slice with each bite. "That's the best. Just something about it". I must have drifted off wondering if I had cucumbers remembering I didn't. "She said they don't have either". Now it was her turn to momentarily drift off. She had a pleasant smile and let out a big sigh.
I got a work call just as se beckoned me up to pick up my order. She gave me both green and red salsa in little containers when I nodded as she held them over the bag.
The four tacos were definitely small more like the circumference of a naval orange. And they were bundled together in foil the size of a sandwich! Damnit should have gotten ten!
Well four was conservative first start and a small investment having never tried em. Beside Steph would think I was pig eating four in one sitting.
The pastor was spicy tender with sweet hint of the lime I squeezed and something else sweet. I would assume pineapple. The crunch of sweet onions and contrasted with cilantro was perfect. I never bothered with the salsas except to spice up the green onion and radishes that came with. The corn doubled tortillas were soft and packed fresh maze punch.
I'll be back for more! Maybe with Steph after a swim at the Plunge.
