Taste of Conway

conway. i like it. i like conway’s independent restaurants. thanks to Taste of Conway, i have found a new one to patronize (more on that restaurant later). first; the lay-out of Taste of Conway presented a problem for those of us who went to eat. as soon as tickets were collected at the door, you were deadlocked. the food line “started” immediately behind the ticket table. with a reported 700 people in attendance, this wasn’t a good scene and the line didn’t move as quickly as i wanted. another bitch; the severe shortage of tables to give the food samples you managed to scoop up and carry, a taste. still, the time spent there was fun and the food we chose to eat was good. the one great stand out dish sampled was shrimp ceviche from Taqueria Micho’s. info gathered from their restaurant menu; hours indicate this is a breakfast/lunch place & the shrimp ceviche is listed under “meat choices” meaning you may choose to have it in a taco, on a tostada, in a burrito etc. i recommend on a tostada. sorry folks, i don’t have a photo of Taqueria Micho’s shrimp ceviche, when i returned for the photo op, the ceviche had all been snapped up.

pictured are the lovely ladies from Taqueria Micho’s and a photo of the barbacoa (top), a taco with shredded beef and mexican spices. i would not be surprised if that beef was lengua (tongue). both items were delicioso. offered as a condiment for the shrimp ceviche was a squeeze bottle of avocado sauce that was scrumptious. for the taco, a red sauce. i seriously could have stood at their booth all night, but we ventured on for more tastes. Mike’s Place main dish offering was grouper creole, a pan fried grouper with a crawfish & shrimp sauce. the grouper was fantastic, and, Mike’s Place has been a long time fav of mine. definitely worth the drive to conway, tru dat.
