OMG tacos. If you're looking for a hot, corn-wrapped Mexican classic just like Abuela used to make, this is not the place to go. If, on the other hand, you're open to embracing the taco as just something delicious with something else delicious folded around it, Goa Taco might be just the thing. Goa serves paratha tacos that consist of a flaky, warm piece of Indian flatbread wrapped around fillings like slow-roasted pork belly, five-spice confit duck and paneer cheese with fried chickpeas. Goa uses the highest quality ingredients and hormone free meats and strives to make all its fillings, salsas, sauces and meats in house.
