Love Mexican, but getting tired of the same old burritos, enchiladas, refried beans? Take a seat at White Duck Taco and get ready to be amazed at the spin that’s been put on one of the most humdrum dishes at any Mexican restaurant: the average taco.
Chattanooga was once a one-taco town with ground beef-and-cheese primarily the only tacos sold. But Mexican restaurants have come a long way since the first tacos appeared on the menu at Taco Bell a couple of generations ago.
And now, the chefs at White Duck Taco have created this traditional south-of-the-border fare through a Korean-meets-Asian-meets-Mediterranean lens. In other words, fusion — and lots of it. All wrapped up in a tortilla.
The order: Guacamole with chips, a mole Duck taco, a Thai peanut chicken taco and a side of kimchi.
For starters, the guacamole was excellent and not overloaded with cilantro like many guacs in Mexican restaurants. It comes with a very large order of chips, and with only a cup of guacamole in the order, you’re bound to have a lot of chips left over.
