Blue Goose Cantina in Grand Prairie, along with the company’s six other locations, are featuring some savory new summertime specials on the menu. My husband and I tried a few of them recently, and liked them all. Tacos al Pastor was our hands down favorite, though.
Street corn tortillas loaded with jack cheese, adobo-marinated pork, grilled pineapple, onion, cilantro, and a spicy cremosa drizzle ($14) melded for a sublime flavor combination—I hope this creation will stay on the menu so I can order them year-round. Also on the Blue Goose Cantina Summer Menu: Shrimp Tacos–corn tortillas packed with adobo-seasoned shrimp, slaw, corn, avocado slices, and a chipotle mayo drizzle ($14). Since I’m a shrimp lover, these were also a favorite of mine but my husband wasn’t that impressed—primarily because they’re a lot messier to eat than the Tacos al Pastor.
We also tried the Huaraches, a traditional Mexican masa tortilla topped with beans, either chorizo or pork al pastor, lettuce, pico, sour cream, and queso fresco ($14). We tried Huaraches with the pork al pastor, and it was very filling, resembling a burrito smothered in sauce. Since we were there on a weekday, I wasn’t able to try the other new entry, a Mexican Benedict.
This dish is served only at weekend brunch Sat. –Sun. from 10 a.
m. to 3 p.m.
Obviously I’ve got to get back to Blue Goose Cantina soon to try the Mexican Benedict: Two sopes topped with refried beans, chorizo, poached eggs, salsa verde, sour cr.
