Antique Taco

We saw Antique Taco recently mentioned on Check Please.  It looked fun and interesting and we wanted to try it.  We heard it can get crowded at night so we were able to get there for a super early dinner to avoid the crowds.

Pork Carnitas Tacos

Pork Carnitas Tacos with adobo rub and tamarind glaze, bacon, spinach, onion, avocado and queso fresco
Nice sauce and glaze on the pork.  Very good but a typical taco offering at these modern Mexican restaurants.

Garlic Shrimp Tacos with purple potato, black bean and edamame

Shrimp Tacos

We wish there could have been a few more shrimp in the tacos.  Halfway through eating the taco, Natalie had to check to make sure it was the shrimp taco because the 2 shrimp were located on the other half of the taco.  It had a surprisingly spicy flavor and was hearty with all of the vegetables.

Chili Cheese curds with chorizo chili, crema fresca and scallions
These were great.  Out of all of the dishes this was the most unique and fun.  If we were in the area we would definite go back for this dish for a good snack.  It elevated the concept of cheese curds  (kind of like the cheese curd version of poutine).

Chili Cheese Curds

Horchata milkshake - interesting concept but not quite thick like a milkshake would be .  It was runnier than we thought (therefore easier to drink and we drank it faster than a normal milkshake - so it didn't last very long).

Poptart - ice cream and chocolate and marshmallow, kind of like a dessert empanada/s'more.  Oeey gooey goodness but a little difficult to eat. (also did not last very long).

Final thoughts on Antique Taco:
Food - good and tasty not sure we would go out of way to go there again.  Like most places we eat at that are further away, we wish they were closer so we could go more often.
Service - you order your food at a counter and then it is brought out to your table.  They were observant and made sure to wait until we finished the tacos and cheese curds before bringing out the poptart which had ice cream in it.

Atmosphere - lots of reclaimed wood and vintage signage throughout. Surprisingly they had real cloth napkins despite being a more casual and fast food type of place. There weren't that many people there at the time we were but they were all younger and probably from the neighborhood.
