Revolver Taco Lounge: Ambitious and Well Balanced

Revolver Taco Lounge got its name, according to one story, from the carefully handcrafted designs of legendary gunmaker Arturo Rojas, whose handiwork can be spotted in the back room of the restaurant founded and operated by his son Regino.

Balance is the true key to a great taco. A little too sweet, too hot or light on filling, and “great” can turn to “meh” pretty quickly. Too much filling, and a corn tortilla can tear apart. At Revolver Taco Lounge, they seem to be having no trouble hitting the mark. Photos by Kathy Tran
