Tallulah's Taqueria

Sometimes things happen in the most random way imaginable.  While sitting interminably in a hospital waiting room, I was perusing an issue of Edible Rhody, a magazine of which I had never been aware, and noticing several enticing ads for places of which I had never been aware.  Of course this was right up my alley, and I knew Average Joe would be very interested to scope out some new places as he always is.  Opportunity came the very next day, when we found ourselves in the mood for Mexican or some such thing for lunch, and we sought out Tallulah's Taqueria on Ives St. in Providence.  It's a very small place, but very bright and cheerful!

I was in the mood for tacos; Joe opted for a chicken and black bean burrito.  I must admit, in my newfound status as a foodie I had never had tacos like this before.  They were soft tacos, and kind of small, whereas every taco i had ever had (don't laugh) had come out of an Old El Paso box.  These were pretty great, piled high with black beans and guacamole and all sorts of other goodies.  Joe's burrito was really substantial, and very very good according to his report.  We eat at Moe's Southwest Grill more than anyone should probably admit, and while we like Moe's a lot, this was of course a different experience.  The house chips and salsa was a whole lot spicier than what we get at Moe's, and saltier.  I try to avoid a lot of salt; it's not really a huge problem for me, but since I don't want it to become one I usually try to forego the salt.  Having said that though, anyone who is avoiding salt should probably not eat at a restaurant such as this; you just know what you're in for.  So this is not a complaint, just an observation.

 All in all, the food was great, the staff was friendly, and we had a great experience here, and even with so many new and undiscovered (by us, anyway) eateries in the area we will undoubtedly make Tallulah's one of our regular stops.  Check them out!
