Why: The depth of flavor.
A couple of months ago, we decided to check out the Palm Springs Cultural Center’s Foodie Fridays event before a show.
From 4 to 8 p.m. each Friday, the PSCC invites a handful of local food vendors to set up shop, offering a variety of dining options to both attendees of that evening’s shows, and people who come specifically to enjoy the vendors’ eats. The hubby—who will never, ever turn down tasty Mexican food, because he’s smart—eyed the TacoN’Todo tent, and saw something rather intriguing being prepared: birria tacos, with the tortilla dipped into the birria’s juices.
He ordered a couple of these “red tacos,” and after they cooled off—they came EXTREMELY hot—he took a bite. Then he offered me a bite.
Ever since, we’ve both been hooked on TacoN’Todo.
At Foodie Fridays, TacoN’Todo’s offerings were fairly limited, with various permutations of birria tacos, quesadillas and burritos, as well as rice, beans and consommé (in which the tacos are meant to be dipped—but the red tacos are so good, it’s not needed). At a recent Palm Springs VillageFest, the menu included chicken, steak, shrimp and veggie fare as well. At catering gigs, the owners offer an impressively wide variety of choices—everything from ceviches to bacon-wrapped hot dogs to numerous vegetarian offerings—which you can read all about on the website.
Follow TacoN’Todo’s Instagram page to find out where they’ll be showing up. They’re a constant at VillageFest, and can be found at foodie events and pop-ups all around the valley—and I strongly recommend you find ’em. Those tacos are O-M-G good.
