Tony's Street Tacos

I rarely give five star reviews, but I have to for this new place. Tony's Street Tacos replaced Northampton Pizza in the EZ4U. I stopped in today to give it a try. I ordered a shrimp taco and a brisket taco on corn tortillas. Tony had me sample the brisket--it was wonderful, nice and tender even in the lean parts, and well seasoned. He could spin off a barbecue place if he wanted. I had some cilantro rice and grilled onions on the brisket taco. The shrimp taco came with three nice plump shrimp and some very good slaw, with jicama, cabbage, and other items to give it a good crunch. I ordered the special Diablo sauce, and Tony gave me green and red salsas as well. He made the Diablo sauce on the spot, and it's 99 cents extra. He warned me that the Diablo sauce was very hot, and the red sauce was hot. The green sauce is a milder one.

I tried all three. I think I am slightly more sensitive than average to hot food. The Diablo sauce had a nice heat but was not at all overwhelming. A great combination of garlic, asiago sauce and pico de gallo. I thought the red sauce was actually a bit hotter. The green sauce is milder, and has a very fresh flavor. I liked them all, but I think the Diablo sauce is worth the upcharge.

If you pay in credit you pay next door at the EZ4U. I threw in a Dr. Pepper made with sugar, which was quite fine.

The interior is very casual but sufficiently attractive and comfortable if you want to stay in. I was served by the owner with all possible courtesy. All in all, I can't say enough good things about it.  Come on in and support this place, we really want it to stick around.
