Taco Shack in Selah

After a sign was put out stating the place was under new management and many people raving about the place we gave it a shot.

Taco Shack is my favorite mexican joint in or around Selah, WA. I have come to Yakima for work a few times over the past years and have made Taco Shack a habit for lunches. I have ate dozens of lunches here and all of them have been a great experience. The street tacos (Al Pastor) are my favorite.

Two of us ordered tacos with the meat she suggested was really good and our other friend ordered a caldo de res (beef stew). The tacos did not blow us away or even surprise us. The tortillas were store bought, seemed to be heated in the microwave, and not on the comal. As for the caldo, our friend said the caldo lacked salt and the chayote, carrot, and other veggies were half way cooked and still a bit hard. The lady is very nice, offers grea...
