Welcome to the new Taco Punk blog! We'd like to use this platform to communicate to our customers and the public in a way that lets us express more than we can in a Facebook status update, tweet, or advertisement. Thanks for reading. For our first post, we'd like to address one of the most common critiques against us: our prices. We'd love to give our tacos away for free, but we wouldn't be around for very long if we did. What follows is a short explanation of why we price our food the way that we do.
At Taco Punk, we put a lot of time, talent and treasure into
what we make. It’s not easy or cheap,
but we know that it’s worth it. Here’s
why.
Our ingredients come from farms, not factories. We have relationships with regional farmers, and buy our meat from people we know and trust. Our chicken mole is made from whole-body chickens supplied by Amish farmers in Ohio. We smoke the chicken ourselves, pull the meat from the bone, make it taste delicious, and serve it to you. The ground sirloin in our Americano tacos comes from beef that’s been raised locally and grass-fed, the way Mother Nature intended. That’s what farm to table is all about. And what doesn’t come from local farms, like the Pacific Cod we use to make our Yucatecan style fish tacos, is sustainably caught so that the next generation of Taco Punks can grow up to enjoy it too.

Is this easy? No, it’s not. At Taco Punk, there are no short cuts. Every day, we create hand-made tortillas from corn, masa and flour. We roll each one into dough balls and press them into tortillas moments before they are served to you. All of our salsas are made from scratch with fresh ingredients, and they’re yours to enjoy whenever you purchase anything from our menu. From the safrito black beans and saffron rice, to the guacamole and queso, it’s all made by hand, one ingredient at a time. We know you’ll taste the difference, and we know that you’ll like it.
You’ll never find a $0.99 taco at Taco Punk. There’s no such thing as a “dollar menu” in
our restaurant. That’s because when it
comes to making Louisville’s best tacos, we put our money where our mouth
is. It’s worth it to us, and we hope
it’s worth it to you too. Come in and
taste the difference.
