Tacolicious Chico

"Local Cal-Mex mini-chain Tacolicious is heading downtown to serve a very Mexico City-style work lunch: tacos de guisados, or hearty tacos made from braises and stews. The quick and-to-the-point spinoff will be called Tacolicious Chico, and it opens at 685 Market Street (near 3rd Street) in early October. True to the name, the new Tacolicious operation is a chico 425-square-feet. With no seating inside and just a few seats outside, the focus will be to-go orders. The menu will include tacos de guisados like guajillo-braised beef (popular at Tacolicious’s existing five locations), pork chile Colorado, mushrooms and rajas, chicken chile verde, lamb barbacoa, and vegetarian options like peppers and corn and “greens n’ beans,” all served on corn tortillas made fresh on-site. For easy pricing, every item — including a few drinks like horchata cold brew and hibiscus lemonade — will be $3.50." - Caleb Pershan
