Grayt Advertising Bud & Alley's Taco Bar!

[ItzKatzTime]

If you picked up the Walton Sun today you couldn't miss the ads for Bud & Alley's Taco Bar. They were scattered throughout every section of the Walton Sun and immediately made me start craving a Taco. I couldn't stop thinking of Taco's. Every turn of the page it seems they were staring back at me....beckoning me...luring me to Seaside for Taco's and Tequila. Dave what a great advertising technique!!

i agree, it is a good looking ad, but the plural of taco is tacos, not taco's

Being the grammar Natzi is my job. Didn't you know that?

I'm definitely craving some tacos from Taco Bar! I was going to cook a gourmet meal tonight, but at lunchtime we decided to paint the trim on the house, and we just finished most of it.

Tacos there are good. But $4.00 for a tiny cup of salsa and a small basket of chips? Not good.

Just as a comparison, Taqueria del Sol in Atlanta charges $2.99 for chips and three types of salsa. That seems pricey because most Tex-Mex restaurants offer free chips and salsa, but then Taqueria's entrees are less expensive than most Tex-Mex restuarants. I imagine that Dave's fixed overhead is a lot more than that of the owner of Taqueria (a big Georgia Tech fan, BTW) is.

Dave, would it be possible to offer a combination of tacos and chips? I know that we would love that option and be there more often.

Here is my one suggestion for Mr. Taco ...(I did tell him in person).

Most of us are not used to paying for chips and salsa, but I wouldn't mind if the price of the salsa and chips was lower than the guac and chips. Here's one thing I know...paying for chips and salsa keeps you from stuffing your face with mindless eating!!! I think the Taco Bar is one of the best things to happen to our area in a long time.

Thanks for the input as always Sowallers. We do actually have three types of salsa. One that comes with the chips and the free ones on the salsa bar; tomatillo salsa and the Roja or hot selection. If you run out of salsa you get a free refill. And the chips in many mexican restaurants are not made fresh daily they are commercial grade chips from Sysco. We make everything fresh every day. Yes, my overhead is totally insane; the highest rent in this part of the world I am sure but I am not complaining I love being in Seaside.

Thanks for the good word on the ads Kat. It's been really fun getting all the feedback on them. They really seem to be getting a lot of attention. Carol and I can't wait to come back and eat at D&K's! Tell Doug I'll stick my head in the kitchen next time.
