Acà — Restaurant in Paris

I was walking in the 10th trying to find a place to buy a SIM card and I walk passed this Mexican restaurant with people eating tacos and burritos and salads that looked DAMN good.

Then I noticed that it was Taco Tuesday - Tacos for $1! That still didn’t convince me to stop and eat there, though. But on the way back, I said I had nothing to lose….

I’m from Chicago and it’s well know that Chicago makes the best tortillas and tacos in all of the USA. I know what a legit Mexican taco should taste like.

These tacos are tiny but they are overfilled with meat. The chicken and Barbacoa tacos hit. Skip the chorizo and potatoes. I didn’t have the mushrooms. I had TEN tacos and as I write this at 8pm at night, I still feel satisfied. Many people were drinking margaritas but I didn’t want to spend $10 on a drink.

Food was mediocre and cost a fortune. The nachos come with a puddle of liquid cheese and a dash of feta cheese, beans, guacamole. The tacos are average, only made acceptable with the beef broth. My burrito had barely any meat on it, another item only made acceptable when I dunked the entire thing into the beef broth. My partner got quasadias (forgive my spelling) which weren’t brought to us until after I finished eating. They were quite nice with the guacamole and again dumped into the beef broth. Keeping in mind it was just bread and cheese inside though. The time we went the restaurant was completely packed and people kept shoving my chair to push pass. Could barely hear ourselves speak. The best thing was the 2 drinks we...
