Our own Mr. Taco got some good publicity this week in the Victoria Advocate, when Jessica Rodrigo, page designer/copy editor, stopped here and ate there.

There was a large color picture of her order and lots of nice words to say about the establishment and her meal. Mr. Taco has completed their expansion at the local restaurant and a bar area in the new part was opened over the weekend. There lots of space and it’s nicely decorated.
