Gringo Tacos

Everybody LOVES Tacos:

They are perfect for a family dinner, an office lunch or any occasion. We do Taco Bars for Weddings - It's Amazing!

 

Tacos fit our TO- GO Concept - PERFECTLY.  They are delicious, Fun to Eat, travel well and everyone loves tacos. 

​

These are NOT Authentic Mexican Tacos...

These are NOT Street Tacos... 

 

These are GRINGO TACOS!

​

Gringo Tacos start with a Great Tortilla: 

Our tortillas are made with flour and corn. 

We use Maseca (corn flour) and high protein wheat flour and our secret ingredient Manteca (smoked apple wood bacon fat).  Our tortillas are slightly thicker than other tortillas, because they are "full of air". 

 

Each tortilla is rolled by hand and grilled fresh. This labor of love is not easy... But the final product is Extraordinary.​​

​

The Key to Great Tacos That Travel...

Keep the meat separate from the tortillas - until it is time to make your tacos...  Making Tacos is Fun!​

​​​Which one you having Mang?

 

Gringo Chicken:

Chicken thigh marinated for 24 hours in a mixture of herbs, spices, olive oil and Modelo. The chicken is grilled to order, and served family style... so you can build your own tacos.
Building Tacos is Fun!

​

Smoked Pastrami Burnt Ends:

Smokey, tender, fabulous... We tried every type of beef for our steak tacos and couldn't find the right one. Then, we discovered Smoked Pastrami Burnt Ends and a star was born - we think you will LOVE this taco. I know it sounds weird - but when we do a taco bar it is the first one that disappears... 

​

Pork Carnitas:

Fresh Iowa Pork Shoulder, slow braised in (Manteca - Pork Fat) until it is tender and juicy and literally falling apart. (Think Pulled Pork - but better) Then, it is grilled to order - to give it the right amount of a crunch. ​

​

Bronzed Shrimp:

Shrimp grilled in garlic butter and The Food Guru's Seafood Spice. 

​​​

Chorizo:

A super flavorful - made in house with Iowa pork shoulder,  "Spicy - Not Hot" Mexican style pork sausage.

​

Fresh Salsa:

We make two types of fresh salsa

Pico de Gallo

Salsa Madre

​

Salsa Madre is made with fire roasted roma tomatillos, and green tomatillos, smoked morita peppers, smoked adobo peppers, onion, garlic, lime and cilantro. It's the perfect blend of spicy and smokey. 

 

We serve Graze Tacos, family style with our salsas and cheddar cheese and lime, So you can build your Tacos, Your way!

​

Buy extra salsa to keep it at home.
