Red Skinz Indian Fry Bread. This is their first week in operation, and today is a nice, sunny day in Portland.
Currently, the only menu items are Soda ($1), Fry Bread ($3), and, most importantly --
Fry Bread Taco ($7) - which is the fry bread, covered with chili, lettuce, cheese, and onions (and a generous helping of hot sauce on the side)
They provide a plentiful selection of sauces and such for those who go with the simple Fry Bread dish, to dress it up a little.
Having grown up mostly in Utah, this was known to me as "Navajo Tacos" - a dish I remember fondly and haven't encountered since moving away, until now.
The owner was very friendly, and explained he'd be working on some additional items based on customer suggestions and such as time goes on, including donuts
(in UtahSpeak, these fry breads were covered in cinnamon and sugar and referred to as 'scones,' I later learned that others refer to these as 'elephant ears' and that scones are a much, much different treat)
Coincidentally, he says everyone who says they've had these before are from Utah... Hmm.
I practically inhaled this thing when I got back to the office. Very tasty.
In our discussion, the guy mentioned he'd be working on getting rid of the styrofoam containers, as people complained... and he may be well served to offer a meatless chili option for the tacos, this *is* Portland, after all...
Good food, I know I'll be back to have this taco dish again, and see what else they have cooking.
