The Mexican Cheeses you Need to Know

Cheese is the path to the hearts of most individuals. Cheese is a weakness shared by most people, whether you prefer delicate, mild cheeses or aged, stinky cheese. And for good reason—cheese is extremely versatile and can add comfort to any comfort food. Although it is the ideal garnish and addition to the majority of dishes, it has also garnered the respect and acclaim necessary to stand alone.

The space inside Naco Taco is actually pretty cool itself with a huge wrap-around bar and plenty of indoor space to crunch loudly on taco chips and slurp some strawberry, jalapeño, lemon sangria.

Several weeks ago, I was invited to stop in and check out Naco Taco with a friend.  We dove right into the menu and enjoyed an assortment of tacos as well as a few additional plates of vittles.

Okay, the cauliflower was so good. It is slathered in a chipotle aoili and topped with cotija cheese. Cauliflower is so simple but always tastier when prepared by someone else.

Local artists have contributed work to the space.

The bar is a large wrap-around bar. The perfect place to gather to watch hockey…or okay football.

The dining area is split into three or four main sections so there is really plenty of space for groups of all shapes, sizes and ages.
