Durham food: Nanataco

One of the first things I missed from Oklahoma City was Tex-Mex. Yes, this Oklahoma born-and-bred gal has a sweet spot for some sub-par cheese-esque queso, tortillas and salsa. I think it’s a prerequisite to being born in the South-ish, Mid-West.

I searched high and low and feared that I’d have to settle for Moe’s as my Tex-Mex option when we happily stumbled on Nanataco.

It’s fresh attitude and decor reminds me a lot of Big Truck Tacos in Oklahoma City. I’m like Julie Roberts at the bar-back in Pretty Woman when visiting their ample salsa bar. And the food – well, it may not be the fake cheese queso I’m used to, but it is a creamy version of the real deal.

Super reasonable prices, great food. Good deal, Durham. My world is becoming more complete in North Carolina. Now, if I could only get them to start serving the crispy 'cado...

And yes, I did shamelessly have Taco Bueno three times during my last visit to Oklahoma.
