Foodie Friday: The Prickly Pear Grill & Cantina - Salina, Kansas
For weeks my Instagram has been sending post after post to my feed
featuring someone somewhere making Birria tacos and y'all I was craving
them so hard that I was two seconds away from trying to make them myself.
However, while searching for a place to eat at before the Josh Turner
concert at the Stiefel Theatre, I noticed on the menu for The Prickly Pear the
dish that has been haunting me day in and day out and I knew immediately
that was where we were going to go. Scroll on down to see what we thought!

We walked into the packed restaurant somehow managing
to be seated at a table by the window right away.
.
It wasn't long before our waitress was at our table handing us our menus
and since we were running on a tight schedule before the concert
we decided to put in our orders right away.
.
.
Nick, after some back and forth, decided on the smothered chimichanga
.
.
and I, knowing exactly what I wanted, went with the Classic Queso Birria tacos of course.
.
.
We also made sure to put in an order of the fried taquitos
for an appetizer cause ya girl can't say no to taquitos. lol

Y'all. Y'ALL. Before we had even finished eating our food I knew this place
was going to be receiving a perfect score. The atmosphere and décor of the
place makes it feel like some trendy restaurant you would go to in like
Utah or Arizona. Just somewhere far away from Kansas and that definitely adds
to the reasons why I loved it since I miss my southwestern states so so badly.
The service was great even though the place
was packed and our food came out FAST. I even remember saying
"Wow. That was fast!" lol Oh and speaking of the food. Everything was
PERFECT. Hands down the best taquitos I have ever had. Could easily
eat those little golden brown wonders every single day and the Birria tacos
definitely conquered the craving I have been having with the cheese inside stringy
and the sauce having a nice little flavor punch. Even reheated (cause we did
have some leftovers) it was delicious. This might just be my favorite Foodie
Friday place to date or at least is for sure in the top three. If you haven't been
you definitely NEED to go.
