Takeout Tacos Near the HalfshellJohnny's Halfshell opened Taqueria Nacionale next door to their restaurant this week. Breakfast and lunch, and carryout only. Today, I tried their fish tacos ($2.50), beef tacos ($2.50), and yuca fries $1.50. The tacos -which are soft tacos- were not as soft as I would have liked. They were also small, but they are relatively inexpensive. The fillings were tasty, and seemed to be made from quality ingredients. The beef taco contained small cubes of beef and the fish tacos contained pieces of fried fish, and coleslaw. The yuca fries were tasty, but they oily, and not crispy. They do make their own horchata, but I haven't tried it yet. I did notice a bag of chufa nuts. :) Complaints: They need to work on their packaging, and I had to wait 15 minutes for my lunch order. Oh, and they sell the bottled Coke that requires a bottle opener, so if you don't have one at work, you need to walk around with an open bottle. I'll give them a month or two to work things out since they are brand new, and then I'll try it again. It does seem like a better option than a lot of the Union Station competition.

It's how they come. Try one side by side with an American coke. You'll realize just how good soft drinks used to be before they stared making them with high fructose corn syrup. 2)I asked about the beef. That's chopped skirt steak and chopped flank (they do it themselves, apparently, from whole cuts). 3) The house made drinks (I've only had the horchata and the watermelon so far) are really, really good. Made from fresh fruits (they say) and made fresh every afternoon for the next day. Same thing with the salsas. Cashion seems to be in there running the place every time I've been in, so you know that the quality control and the food are just going to get better and better. 4) Lots of seating across the street towards the Capitol around the fountain.
