trippy taco

after discovering that coco loco (our favourite coffee stall from meridith music festival) opened a shop in northcote (5 min bike ride from us) we now discovered that our favourite food stall from meridith (we pretty much lived off the 2 stalls the whole weekend) has now opened a shop on smith street!! trippy taco now has a cute little cafe style resturant at 48A smith street (near the victoria parade end). they make the best taco's in australia!!! they're just like my favourite tacos in canada (but with beetroot in them too-- everything in australia has beetroot in it). they use black beans (there's only 2 shops i know of where you can get canned black beans in melbourne and i can never be bothered so soak dried ones so i never have black beans and i LOVE them). they also use fresh salsa and they're HUGE (san diego size-- but twice the price of what we would pay in s.d.). they also do vegan soy cheese on request! we stopped there for a VERY quick dinner on the way home from ikea (we had to have the car back by 8:30). it was SOOOOOOOOO good though. we will definately be going back (as much as possible).
