Smoked Taco – A Symphony in Every Bite! 🌮🔥

BBQ Meets Mex in the Heart of Utah County

Hey there, fellow food lovers! Let’s taco ’bout something special today – The Smoked Taco. Nestled near Costco in American Fork and its sister location in Saratoga Springs, this gem brings a twist to your taco game. It’s BBQ meets Mex – or should I say BBQ MEATS MEX? Let’s dive in!

The Flavors that make you go “Wow!”

The Smoked Taco isn’t your typical taco joint. It’s where the smoky goodness of BBQ collides with the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, creating a fusion fiesta where BBQ mastery meets Mexican flair.

Here are some must-tries:

• The Fleeing Californian: A perfect blend of tri-tip steak and roasted corn, topped with cotija cheese with the perfect accompanying crema. Hello, taste explosion!
• The Bang Bang: Seasoned shrimp bathed in a zesty bang bang sauce. It’s a seafood sensation!
• The Money Muscle: The pulled pork with a hint of teriyaki is the talk of the town and a match made in heaven.
• The Bahn Fire: A smoked chicken marvel that’s a must-try. It’s like fireworks of flavor!

All these and more for just $4.50 to $5.25! And don’t forget Taco Tuesdays for the best deals in town.

For the Meat Lovers and Veggie Enthusiasts

Primarily a carnivore’s paradise, they do have a nod to vegetarians with their “Cornivore” taco. So, everyone’s invited to this party!

The Creative Minds Behind the Smoky Delights

Jeff McFadden and Gary Hanson, the brains behind this operation, bring their BBQ prowess from Wallaby’s to create something unapologetically bold and delicious. Their approach? Unconventional, but oh-so-satisfying.

DudeFoodie’s Experience: A Symphony of Flavors

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (9/10)

I was skeptical when I decided to first try The Smoked Taco. I thought it was going to be overly smoked meat drenched in meh BBQ sauce on a tortilla….. I couldn’t have been more wrong! Stepping into The Smoked Taco prepared me for a culinary journey unlike any other. The smoked meats are a perfect match for the fresh, zesty toppings – a harmony of flavors that’s hard to find anywhere else.

I felt that every bite and every taco was assembled with meticulous precision and intent. I was transported to another realm and watched The David statue being chiseled in taco form.

I give this a 9 out of 10 rating. Sure, the funnel fries were a bit of a letdown, but every taco was a revelation. And let’s talk about that crispy cheese edge – It’s a visual and textural delight (though I wouldn’t mind more cheese, just saying!). The location in Saratoga Springs is also hidden and parking can be tricky.

Regardless it is a must-try!
