If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you might have caught on that tacos hold a particular place in my heart- I can never get enough of them! Taco Dumbo's approach is inspired by the foodie ethos of California, the ingredients are real and locally sourced and the vibe is laid back- a refreshing break from the relentless pace of the city.
Taco Dumbo is a 100% dairy-free establishment, and notes gluten-free, raw, and vegan options. Because I visited at 11am, and was one of the first to order that day, I knew cross contamination would be minimized, nevertheless I confirmed with the staff that everything I ordered was indeed gluten-free.
The chicken tacos are stuffed with tender, pulled rotisserie chicken in a rich, spicy sauce. Tangy, sweet pickled onions provided a wonderful contrasting flavor to the chicken and the cilantro and a squeeze of lime rounded out the flavors perfectly. The soft corn tortillas were strong and easily managed the generous serving of toppings they were tasked with holding. I adored these tacos- while they featured familiar ingredients, these tacos were a refreshingly bold.
Wanting to try another taco variety, I selected the vegan spice-rubbed cauliflower tacos. These come with a cabbage slaw, carrots, cilantro and pickled onions. I wanted every bit to love these tacos, but the cauliflower was rather bland and spice-less. The other toppings were good, but the taco just didn't have the "wow" factor that the chicken tacos had.
Taco Jumbo definitely impressed me, and as I finished my meal, I was already anticipating my next visit. I can't wait to taste around their menu, and will definitely plan to order one of their homemade cold-pressed juices. I am so excited that I discovered Taco Jumbo at The Pennsy, as it's menu and convenient location make it an notable choice for any gluten-free foodie visiting the city.
