Roscoe Townsend's taco chili is a proprietary mix of ground beef, red beans and chili spices that he and his employees scoop into gut-busting tacos, burritos and tostadas before topping the whole meal deal off with your choice of sour cream, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and black olives. It's up to you to decide between six homemade sauces (including "hellfire and brimstone"). Grub is dished out rapidamente, lunches are cheap, and the portions are muy grande. Roscoe takes Sundays and Mondays off, but the rest of the week he'll be there.
It's kind of another Bazbeux, Yats, In N Out, "you love it just because you do" type of place.
A friend initiated me in the ways of the Roscoe and I was hooked. Don't expect gourmet or authentic Mexican food here. It is what it is -- lots of chili and Americanized "Mexican", but it's still damn tasty. And affordable too, which is always nice. :)
If you haven't been, go. You'll be glad you did.
