Taqueria 27 – $50 giveaway

I recently had the great pleasure to dine at the newly opened Taqueria 27, whose menu offers a wealth of creative options. The wonderful folks at T27 kindly gave me a $50 gift certificate which I’m ready to give away to one lucky reader of Gastronomic SLC. First though, a bit more about the restaurant and the menu.

According to owner/chef Todd Gardiner, the general concept of “tacos and tequila” had been a seed in his mind for some time. “This is not your average rice and beans place. I wanted to create a casual place serving amazing food that my family could walk to, and not have to drive downtown for a great meal. It’s the kind of joint you can call home, hang out with your friends after work or drop by for lunch with the kids in tow. Plus we have an outrageous selection of 100 percent agave tequilas for sipping or mixing”.

“Most of the menu is very approachable, but I have added some interesting offerings for the adventurous. Plus, everything on the menu represents terrific value.” Tacos come in orders of two or four in mouthwatering combinations. Handmade T27 corn tortillas come filled with achiote marinated chicken, slow roasted pork, fresh fish, house made turkey chorizo, flame-seared chile-marinated prime beef, assorted wild mushrooms, griddled veggie or a simply outstanding duck confit taco that’s slow cooked and shredded with fire-roasted vegetables, leeks and chipotle añejo syrup.

Those inspired tacos are only part of the story at T27 though. The menu is diverse and imaginative in every corner – from the five different types of guacamole through to fresh salads, mole platters and much more. Hungry yet? Of course you are, which is why you will want to enter our giveaway right away!

To enter the competition all you need to do is leave a comment on this post, using the form below. Let your imagination run wild and let us know your most creative/fun/tastiest taco combination; just don’t blame us if its so delicious you end up seeing it on the menu at T27! We will pick a winner randomly, October Sat 13th. Good luck!

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC.  I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City  dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV.   Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.    I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.   What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
