Tacoseekers Going Rogue! Also.

As in Rogue Valley, Oregon. We didn’t get a chance to scarf tacos with Sarah Palin, sadly, but we found a time and place to commune with our inner Teabagger and eat tacos and burritos with beer and sodas and our good friends Peter and Christopher.  Follows the details….

This is the Rogue Valley

This is the kid, Matt, again.  But this time we have a guest  blogger, and his name is Christopher.  We went to the  Mexican grill Señor Sam’s in Ashland, OR.  As we walked in the smell drove me nuts.  (The good kind, though.)

Christopher,  the guest blogger is a Señor Sam’s fanatic who says “Its an American-Mexican grill.  ( Thats because it’s run by non-mexicans! ) From the cafeteria-like serving to the All-American ingredients.”

I thought it’s really cool how they do that.  Before we go on to the food, I’d like to point out how they had a great drink selection, and the drink dispenser had free refills!

Free chips and huge selection of different kinds of salsa. And they have a great theme of birds!

FOOD REPORT:

MATT: I had a burrito with pork, cheese, rice, beans, sour cream, mild salsa, guacomole, extra cheese, and cilantro. I liked it a lot.  But I didn’t like the way they folded the burrito, because they did not wrap it in foil, and it fell apart before I touched it, so I had to eat it with a knife and fork.  Otherwise it was wholesome, and satisfactory.

The Senor Sam Burrito

CHRISTOPHER: I live in Ashland and I’ve personally searched this part of the Rogue valley (Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, and Medford OR) and this restaurant I believe offers the best burrito! I had today a burrito with cheese, beans, rice, black olives and medium salsa. I have to disagree with Matt a little otherwise he got it all. I personally think that using foil sounds a little stupid but I have not tried it so… And my motto is the messier the better, but I didn’t get as much stuff as him. It’s comfort food and I love those things!!

TACO GUY: Hi there. I wanted to like this place.  The people are very nice; they want to do well.  But: they steam their corn tortillas, which means that five seconds after they hit your plate they fall apart.  The chicken is well grilled, but the pork is merely steamed and then shredded, and tastes like last week’s meatloaf, without the ketchup.

So: Senor Sam’s is a lovely place to eat, but not a lovely place to eat tacos.

Matt back:  I say the burrito is great, better than the tacos, but if you want to stay clean, go somewhere else.

Chris: One of my favorite things there is the wait is always is short and no cell phone use in line!

Chris still, I think it’s perfect but everyone has different tastes and heck thats just me! If you’re really hungry go there! You might even be able to eat the whole burrito!(the normal servings are BIG!)

MATT AGAIN: I think everyone has a different opinion.  Dad did not like the food, while I liked it a lot.  Chris thinks it’s the best ever, and I respect that.
