More tacos, oh and some nachos!

Crispy Chicken Taco

You can tell when I enjoy something I have it again and again. Its one of the reasons I blog about food, so I can tell I have too much of a good thing. I like to think I try different things, the reality is when there is something I’ve enjoyed, I do have it again and again.

This is pretty much the situation with the delicious tacos from Taco Barra at the St Nicholas Market. Needing lunch again in Bristol instead of choosing something new, I went with what I liked and enjoyed the last time I was in Bristol. Though this time I did go with something slightly different.

Halloumi Taco

I went with two tacos, one was the crispy chicken and the other was the fried halloumi. You have a choice of salsa, I went with mango, and they also include salad. They use white and blue corn tacos which are heated to order. I enjoyed the crispy chicken taco which I had the pineapple salsa. The chicken was tender and tasty, and the salsa was a great contrast to the crispness of the chicken strips.

The halloumi was nice, I had BBQ salsa (or was that just BBQ sauce) which was okay, but I didn’t like it as much as the mango I’ve had before and the pineapple I had on the crispy chicken.

In addition to my tacos, I went with a side of nachos., these had some pineapple salsa and sour cream.

Nachos

They really needed more salsa and more sour cream, I think I would have liked some guacamole with them as well.

Overall I wasn’t as happy as I had been on previous occasions, the food was great, but the BBQ sauce wasn’t great and the nachos felt rather plain. I think I will go with the tacos again, probably won’r have the nachos though.

Nachos

I do like a plate of Nachos, though due to the salt content they are a rare treat for me.

I take some tortilla chips, I have found it impossible to find unsalted corn chips so I try and find the ones with the least salt. I have once tried making it with proper corn tortillas, which had n added salt, but I had to cut them into the “triangles” and they didn’t crunch up to how I like them. They’re probably more authentic like that, but if I ever go to Mexico then I will eat authentic out there.

Having taken the tortilla chips, I spread them on a baking sheet and then add stuff. This time I added tomato salsa, chopped red and green pepper and then scattered some Monterey Jack cheese on top. Other toppings I like adding include refried beans and sliced jalapeño chillis.

I then place these into the top of a really hot oven for about five minutes.
