Milepost Zero — Restaurant in Denver

Went for the variety of food. Got tacos and a protein bowl from the same vendor. Protein bowl was good, the asada taco was good as well. The Al pastor taco had a funky wang to it, I reluctantly took a bit and after tasting it I had to spit it out. Sour, funky smell and taste.

Food poisoning isn’t fun on vacation.

Not sure why this has been the case, but it's disappointing because when all they have available are drinks that you can grab in any supermarket, it doesn't encourage...
