Street Taco has it all: Cute concept, delicious food and drinks, wide-ranging hours. We liked it so much that we got takeout from them the day after stopping in on a whim for some late night bites.
Dine in if you can, as the interior is super fun: Mexican street art lines the walls and the kitchen is made to look like a taco truck.
They have a pretty sizable menu of drinks, including reasonably priced cocktails. There's a whole section of the menu devoted to margaritas, although I was little wary as I was told some of them (e.g. the watermelon) were pretty sweet. I opted to play it safe with the classic, which was simple but refreshing and clearly made with a good-quality tequila (Milagro Silver), fresh-squeezed lime, and agave.
Both at the restaurant and at home, we enjoyed starting with an order of Mexican Street Corn Pops (Mayo, Chili, Cotija, Lime), which comes in three smallish pieces. This is basically your classic, savory Mexican street corn, done perfectly. The pops come out piping hot and they're just addictive.
Otherwise we just tried tacos, some of which are pretty standard taco fare and some of which deviate quite a bit. Most are served in a flour tortilla, which I actually prefer to corn.
Tuna tartare (Soy, Sesame, Ginger, Yuzu, Onion, Avocado Crema, Cilantro): These little guys are served in a crispy wanton shell. The tuna is incredibly fresh and I loved the addition of the avocado crema. They're SO good, and given the small size, you'll want more than one.
Blackened fish (Market Fish, Slaw, Jalapeno Aioli, Cilantro): one of my favorites. The fish is tasty and the tangy slaw rather addictive.
Blackened mushroom (Portobello, Pico, Avocado Crema, Cotija, Radish): the delicious, fresh salsa really stood out in this one. The mushroom was slightly overwhelmed by other flavors.
Chicken tinga (Crema, Cotija, Onion, Cilantro): one of the more standard options. Good and only very mildly spicy.
Fried shrimp (Slaw, Sweet Chili, Cilantro): I only had one bite so can't really speak to it, but my partner liked it enough to order it a second time.
