Screaming Goat

Cheap + Beer + Tacos + Good = Great time with the girls

I've been pinching pennies lately since I want to spend them in Boston when I visit my brother in a few days...Still the girls and I wanted to catch up after Brown's trip to the Big Apple so I browsed the frugal feaster site and decided on the Screaming Goat for $2 beer and cheap tacos.

Let's start with the space. The last time I went to this particular venue it was Cafe Caprice--- a fancy, sort of a 'date' kind of restaurant. The food wasn't too memorable.

A couple of geniuses decided to transform this cute little house into an order-at-the-counter cheap Mexican food joint.

Their specials are awesome. It was Tuesday so the really cheap eats were the burgers, but I was super curious to try their Tacos al Pastor.

Brown ordered a fish taco and a chicken. I had al pastor, and chicken. We all shared guacamole and chips and salsa.

The guacamole was phenomenal. The perfect amount of lime, chunky tomatoes (for those of us who are not very fond and like to pick them out), cilantro... just so yummy!

The salsa was spicy, but you could taste the roasted peppers. Good.

The taco al pastor gave Curra's a run for their money. They do small double corn tortillas, like the Mexican street vendors do, and load them up with the usual topings---except for the pineapple...and I love my pineapple.

Still, I really enjoyed it.

  

There's my big thumb!

So, four girls, one very large basket of chips, some tacos, too many empty beer bottles , and three hours later, we were the last ones there.

It's a cool spot for a chill bite and drink. Very casual.

On Thursdays they have $.75 flautas and $2 beer.

Check them out.
