A campin bud of ours called earlier in the week and he was excited about a new taco joint opened in Rockwall. He had eaten there and thought it was really good. So of course for my blog nation, I felt it necessary to try it out. So this afternoon the wifey called campin bud's wife and made the arrangements for a taco eating fest. We didn't realize that campin bud's daughter would also show up. Of course we have hung together so long that we look at daughter as one of our daughter's also, so it was nuttin but goood. (Don't you hate spell fixer when you are intentionally misspelling words and the computer keeps fixin it for you.)
So the wifey and me did the Ballet to Rockwall to Fireside Chicken & Tacos.
On your first trip you may need one of the employees to help you figure out what you want or you can just study my pictures and order 3 steak tacos. But we had friends with us who had been there so we had first class help. Of course if you feel like you need help I am always available to be your personal foody guide.
I ordered the #6 combo, which is 3 steak tacos and a drink.
When we got to the table they dropped off a basket of chips and salsa. Since Chipper was with us, you know the first basket of chips didn't last long, but they brought us a 2nd basket pretty fast. The chips were very different from all other chips. They were floating in grease. Actually they tasted real good (probably too good), but I won't be eating with my doctor here.
The salsa was the biggest disappointment of the night. The salsa was very runny and had minimal taste. It looked like salsa, but it needs work.
It did take a while for our dinner to be served, but that was ok, we had great conversation and chips and salsa.
The steak tacos has fajita steak meat that was very tasty. It also had plenty of onion, cilantro, lime and avocado slices. I could do without the avocado slices, they really didn't add much taste to the taco. The lime juice does add some zing to the meat. This is some good taco that was over filled with fixins. I had to eat fixins with a fork for a while before I could pick up the tortilla and eat it like a taco.
The wifey had ordered two chicken and one steak tacos and was not going to eat one of the chicken tacos. So I sacrificed my waste line for her. The chicken tacos are very unique. They had pineapple and red onions that seemed like they had been pickled. The chicken didn't have as much taste as the steak, but the fixins gave it an unsual taste, but was good.
Also, note the bottom picture above, my campin bud ordered a tilapia (fish) taco. It must have been pretty good because he inhaled it in a matter of a minute or two.
Overall, good food with good friends. You can't go wrong here.
