wisdom from the comments: taco gringos, pike street beer
Have we mentioned how much we love our commenters? You’re a wonderful, almost entirely troll-free bunch that regularly comes through with useful information!
Exhibit A, DEEPSEAFISHIN on the deliciousness of Taco Gringos [mb]:
We stumbled in around 2:15 last Saturday night after Clever Dunne’s locked up. We had two rounds of carne and pork tacos, they were awesome!!! Every taco is two bucks and genuine “taco truck” style; meat, onions, cilantro, hot tortillas, and hot sauce. I am already thinkin’ about next weekends tacos. The two guys running the place said the menu will be changing often and will be open until 2:30 or so Tuesday-Saturday. I don’t mean to gush, but I have been looking for good tacos in Seattle for a long time. Gracias!
Exhibit B, COMTE on Pike Street Beer & Wine [mb]:
Generally good selection for the beer-snob, although not as mind-numbingly comprehensive as Wallingford’s Bottlewerks. Still, I can’t imagine any beer-ophile not being able to drop a quick $20 (or more) for some of the available product, which includes a reasonably good selection of both international (heavy on the lowlands, natch) and domestic craft brewers. Didn’t pay much attention to the wine selection, but they do have several varieties of meads, which are a welcome addition at this time of year.
Still, spot-check pricing for some of the more common items; while the one-stop shopping is a plus, some of their domestic selections look a tad overpriced compared to the local grocer just up the street.
Keep up the good work! At this rate, I’ll have no excuses to go shopping for beer or tacos.



Taco Gringos will thrive on the drunks from Clever Dunne’s alone.
Tacos Gringos is already getting serious positive word of mouth. We may have found a new hip eating spot.
Awww, shucks - ‘twern’t no big thang…
