Did you ever wish there were a Mad Taco in the Burlington area? Starting today, there almost is. Winooski’s Mule Bar, owned by the same team that owns Mad Taco, inaugurates its Taco Tuesday today with a menu similar to the small chain that has links in Waitsfield, Montpelier and Waterbury.
Each Tuesday the bill of fare will be different, but will likely always include a range of tacos, tortas and dinner plates. Today, those include several different toppings for both tacos and tortas that feature tender pork carnitas. The al pastor features salsa verde, while another is bathed in chef Jean-Luc Matecat’s long-cooked mole sauce. Other meats include a beef carne asada and “roadside chicken.” Vegetarians will opt for kimchee, black bean and cilantro tacos.

This is great as long as the level of service is as good as the food looks. My first and last visit for a while at Mule was dismal at best for service and beverage/food knowledge. Hoping they’ve worked out the kinks.
Great, but don’t forget the One Pepper Grill on North St. and N. Winooski. They’ve had Taco Tuesdays and 35 cent Wing Mondays for the past two years.
I had a negative service experience at Mule, too. I work too hard to suffer through what should be a nice time, and I have no desire to return somewhere I’m treated poorly. Friendly, knowledgeable, and competent gets my business.
Been to the mad taco in the valley. Not impressed. Frida’s blows it away.
