Where'd we eat headcheese tacos?

Delight in a bite

Where did I eat a special of "Mexican construction worker-style headcheese tacos"?

Each rich little two-biter was layered with a square of headcheese, queso fresco and avocado, then piqued with a slice of jalapeno and minced red onion. A side spoon of a very hot and possibly pickled salsa made the whole thing linger.

Did I mention each taco was just a buck? Paired with a 9 percent ABV goblet of Arcadia Hop Rocket Double IPA, I was in heaven.

Once someone gets the answer in the comments, I'll add yesterday's impressive specials menu and draft beer list, after the jump.

Strong work, Meal Ticketers!� Scope Memorial Day's special menu at SPTR, where chef Scott Schroeder is absolutely killing it. My notes on the bottom are in regard to the porter-braised shortrib sandwich on the menu, which was "what a cheesesteak SHOULD taste like," in Mike Persico's words.

The Mystery Belgian Beer draft is a fun conceit, as well ... our mystery draft was complex, sour and a steal at $4.

Politburo for the Win.   Purplesachi is right, too, the salsa was so hot the jalapeno was almost superfluous...but appreciated.



Side note: amazing chip-like fries working here, too.  Schroeder is the perfect chef for this beer bar.

You know, I also visited SPTR over the weekend and had the best eats I've ever had there. I totally agree. Scott Schroeder IS killing it. I had the grass-fed breakfast burger (with bacon and eggs) and house made flat bread. I did not see these awesome tacos. I guess it's not really brunch fare.
