Birdrock Taco Shack - Samoset

Great local experience!A professional chefs twist on classic dishes!Thoroughly enjoyed!

Excellent food service. Very interesting menu with classic asian/ mexican fusion flavor options and several vegetarian options. The atmosphere was very casual during a weekday but seems to be set up to be much more lively during the weekends with live music. Street parking only but sidewalks were clear and we were able to park very close by. Vegetarian options: At half the taco selection is vegetarian along with a few appetizers burrito options. Parking: Street parking only but it's free and not difficult to find a spot. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp in front, plus front patio is accessible directly from the sidewalk

I 'm convinced this place has never had an inspection because the amount of code violations and sheer lack of hygiene present is horrifying. The eclectic decor and quaint seating areas are a false face hiding rancid fish, bad service, and odd designer tacos. They also only serve bottled water, which leads me to believe that they don 't have potable water on site. Given the horrendous state of the kitchen (which is visible to patrons), I wouldn 't be surprised if they don 't. To top it off, while we were there something in the kitchen caught on fire, no one acknowledged it, and everyone just went about a though it was business as usual. While the other people present may have been willing to ignore the billowing smoke, I found it to be the cherry on top of a truly terrible dining experience.

The smell of skunk was so pervasive we won't be back. The staff was very friendly and helpful but you would expect that to be the case of they are getting high.

A funky little place with great tacos, cold beer, attentive friendly staff and excellent live music. Parking: Located in the Village of the Arts with adequate parking in close proximity.
