Spruce Taqueria

review

Aug 032010

Opens only on the weekdays from 12pm-3pm, i knew i had to grab the sister along when i went to check out this place on the day i was delivering biscuit to her office.

I’ve been to Spruce but not Spruce Taqueria.

It was raining when we were there that afternoon and not-surprisingly, i find it more pleasant and definitely an added bonus. :)

Perhaps it was the weather, there were only 2 other patrons when we arrived. However, in between our meal, quite many humans trotted by for take-away and i think most of them were housewives staying nearby :P

Tacos set

We stared hard at the blackboard.

At least i did. I couldn’t decide between quesadilla and tacos. In the end, i went with tacos because the sister picked quesadilla.

The special item that was not on the menu that day was crab. We were told it was rather amazing. So i had my tacos with crab while the sister had short ribs quesadilla. We opted for the $9 set meal.. which was pretty reasonable. The set came together with salsa, chips and drinks!

Ooouuuu! Check out the crab in my tacos!

Amazing will not be the word i’d use for my crab tacos.

The sister and i agreed that crab wasn’t that suitable for tacos. Somehow, it wasn’t that special or tasty. If you must, it was rather forgettable actually. I think i might have preferred the tacos with either the fish or mushrooms… But one thing though, they were quite generous with the crab. For this special $12 set, they really ought to! :P

Short-rib quesadilla

Aheeemmm.. this, was good.

Like Chubby Hubby, i practically wolfed it down too! Heeeee! The meat was tender and juicy, not the mention, flavourful! Very tasty! Of course, the cheese… oh the melted cheese… need i say somemore? ^_^

Believe or not, what i really really enjoyed was neither the guacamole, salsa, chips, quesadilla nor the tacos but the watermelon juice and errrr, the rain! Grin. You can’t tell from the picture below but there was something in my watermelon juice… which made it a winner..

Can you guess what it was? :)
