Where’d we eat headcheese tacos?

| Delight in a bite |
Where did I eat a special of “Mexican construction worker-style headcheese tacos”?
Each rich little two-biter was layered with a square of headcheese, queso fresco and avocado, then piqued with a slice of jalapeno and minced red onion. A side spoon of a very hot and possibly pickled salsa made the whole thing linger.
Did I mention each taco was just a buck? Paired with a 9 percent ABV goblet of Arcadia Hop Rocket Double IPA, I was in heaven.
Once someone gets the answer in the comments, I’ll add yesterday’s impressive specials menu and draft beer list, after the jump.
Strong work, Meal Ticketers! Scope Memorial Day’s special menu at SPTR, where chef Scott Schroeder is absolutely killing it. My notes on the bottom are in regard to the porter-braised shortrib sandwich on the menu, which was “what a cheesesteak SHOULD taste like,” in Mike Persico’s words.
The Mystery Belgian Beer draft is a fun conceit, as well … our mystery draft was complex, sour and a steal at $4.

Fork? i know they have headcheese.
Chifa?
No and No. Here’s a hint: Impressive beer list.
SPTR
politburo is right. was just at sptr last week and had the $1 tacos. delicious! (the sauce served with it was spicy!)
Politburo for the Win. Purplesachi is right, too, the salsa was so hot the jalapeno was almost superfluous…but appreciated.
Side note: amazing chip-like fries working here, too. Schroeder is the perfect chef for this beer bar.
You know, I also visited SPTR over the weekend and had the best eats I’ve ever had there. I totally agree. Scott Schroeder IS killing it. I had the grass-fed breakfast burger (with bacon and eggs) and house made flat bread. I did not see these awesome tacos. I guess it’s not really brunch fare.
