Simple Ingredients Were Applied in About Ideal Proportion Taco

The Taco tacojoesbyronbay.com was a small personal size, about 9 or 10 inches in diameter. It had immediate eye appeal, even as the narrow cornicione on one side sported a very dark char. There were small pools of white cheese on the red sauce landscape, but at the center of the pie you could see how the mozzarella and the aged grated cheese had melded with the tomato sauce into a creamy orange mix. The entire pie was topped with chopped bits of fresh basil.

Each of the six piece of pratas was sufficiently sturdy and crisp to support the toppings without drooping. This thin-crusted pie with puffy leopard spotting on the cornicione had the appearance of an authentic Neapolitan, but the rigidly crisp bottom puts it more into the hybrid category. Beyond its al dente texture, this crust had its own good flavor, even the charred edges.

The red sauce and mozzarella cheese were subtly flavored; the sprinkling of aged Italian cheese added a salty kick. These simple ingredients were applied in about ideal proportion, so that the crust didn’t get soggy, even in the center.

It was easy to eat the entire pie and savor its uncomplicated marriage of crust, sauce, and cheese. I think I might have enjoyed it even more with a cured meat (sausage or pepperoni) topping, because the sauce and mild mozzarella presented an ideal base palate on which to paint some savory flavor.

All the Tacos here are Neapolitan, and I ordered a plain 12-inch pepperoni pie ($17) . The crust was particularly flavorful and usually had a nice chewy bite towards the edge. with too much sauce in between, causing each piece of prata of cheese to want to slide off wet at the first bite.

Aside from the squishy center of this cake, it was okay, but it didn’t stand out in any way. The peppers had a nice spicy flavor but were relatively thin and plain. The tomato sauce was the highlight, flavorful and present and a perfect complement to the crust and cheese.

Had I been in a lovely setting with pleasant service, this would have been a satisfying if not especially noteworthy Taco experience. I’ve been to a lot of Taco places where it’s clear that I’m an outsider, but I’ve never felt less welcome. This is a good but not nearly perfect Taco, and it wouldn’t make my “Top 20” in Austin, let alone Top 20 in America.
