You can't keep the humble taco down.
Especially when chefs get to it.
Sylva Senat, the Brooklyn-born Haitian who had been running a restaurant in Virginia after landing here with Tashan, is now in the taco game with Dos Tacos. His partners are Ryan Dorsey and Marc Mattera of Recess.
It's officially open Wednesday, June 3 in the shoebox-size luncheonette space on the ground floor of the parking garage at 15th and Sansom Streets (120 S. 15th St.). The 3 a.m. closing on weekends should prove popular with the club crowd and restaurant workers.
Senat is using Dos Tacos to keep his hands in the game during the construction of Maison 208, on the former site of Letto Deli at 13th and Chancellor Streets.
Don't expect the usual "pork" or "tinga." Even the "beef" uses kobe. How about a "Ta-Korea" - get it? - that includes flank steak done bulgogi-style with kimchi and pickled cucumber.
Senat has set up a fun menu of about 10 creations. Figure on $7 to $9 for an order of two (e.g. dos tacos).
Best deal seems to be a $20 feast that includes a whole rotisserie chicken served with pico de gallo, sour cream, elotes (corn on the cob) and eight tortillas.
Ice cream taco and churros are on for dessert.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, till 3 a.m. Thursday to Saturday.
