This Gott's location has been around since 2018, but I just stopped by for the first time last…read moreweek.
The inside of the restaurant was huge, clean, and well-lit, with tons of seating. There was also plenty of outdoor seating, which seemed to be dog-friendly. The clerk who rang me up seemed friendly and up-beat.
Unfortunately, none of their fall specials appealed to me. The specials were a mushroom Swiss burger (I don't like mushrooms), a pumpkin shake (I'm not a big fan of pumpkin), and fries topped with fried shallots (who wants a huge pile of a fried thing topped with a huge pile of another fried thing?).
So, I ended up ordering the avocado tacos, to go. Per the menu description, these are:
"Crispy fried avocados served in soft, blue corn tortillas with green cabbage & cilantro slaw, Cotija cheese, salsa verde, red onions, lime & chipotle mayo. 3 tacos per order."
The tacos were made correctly, with the lime and red onions packaged on the side. Each taco had exactly one slice of fried avocado, which altogether, added up to slightly less than half of an average-sized avocado.
To be fair, the tacos are one of the cheapest things on the menu, but, idk, thirteen dollars for half an avocado still seems a little ridiculous. I felt like they should have been called "cabbage slaw tacos with fried avocado," since they were mostly cabbage slaw.
On the bright side, at least, the cabbage slaw was really good. It was as crispy and fresh and clean-tasting as it could possibly be. None of the ingredients showed even the slightest sign of spoilage. The blue corn tortillas were also pretty good, and tasted like they could have been house-made, although the menu didn't state this.
The cotija cheese and chipotle mayo were good, but sparce. Personally, I don't like my tacos this dry. If I ordered them again, I would ask for extra sauce on the side.
Or... I wondered how these tacos would taste with fresh avocado added. Would the contrast between the fresh and fried avocado be fire? Too bad this didn't occur to me before ordering. Maybe next time.
Overall, Gott's is a bit on the pricey side for what you get, and their specials aren't the most innovative, but they do serve reliably high-quality food. Although I'm not always as impressed as I was with my first few burgers in Napa, I still thought it was pretty good.
Would definitely eat here again, although I think I'll stick with the burgers next time.
